It will begin within three months of a major life transition and usually lasts, without treatment, for about six months. Therapy for Adjustment Disorder with depressed mood can decrease the level of impairment in your life and get you feeling better sooner.
Individuals with this type experience heightened anxiety, restlessness, and a sense of unease. This can be a result of the change of stimuli—moving to a new environment, being around someone new, or having a change in schedule—and can make it difficult to accomplish goals or daily life tasks. Adjustment Disorder Therapy in Pittsburgh can help.
