A person with
adjustment disorder often experiences feelings of depression or anxiety or
combined depression and anxiety. As a result, that person may act out
behaviorally against the "rules and regulations" of family, work, or
society. In some people, an adjustment disorder may manifest itself in such
behaviors as skipping school, unexpected fighting, recklessness, or legal
problems. Other people, however, instead of acting out, may tend to withdraw
socially and isolate themselves during their adjustment problems. Still others
may not experience behavioral disturbances, but will begin to suffer from
physical illness. If someone is already suffering from a medical illness, that
condition may worsen during the time of the adjustment disorder. People in the
midst of adjustment disorders often do poorly in school or at work. Very
commonly they begin to have more difficulty in their close, personal
relationships.
