Adjustment Disorder Treatment in East Setauket, NY

Understanding Adjustment Disorder

Major life changes — even positive ones — can trigger emotional distress.
Adjustment Disorder occurs when a person struggles to cope with a significant transition, such as a move, job loss, loved one death, divorce, or illness.


At Resilience Psychiatry, we help patients process change in a healthy way, reduce stress, and develop adaptive coping skills to restore emotional balance.


Adjustment disorder is not a sign of weakness — it’s a natural response that can be managed successfully with professional support.

Common Triggers and Symptoms

Adjustment disorder can develop after life events such as:

  • Relationship changes or family conflict
  • Relocation or starting a new job or school
  • Loss of a loved one
  • Health diagnoses or injury
  • Financial or career stress
  • Retirement or empty nest transitions

Symptoms may include:

  • Persistent sadness or hopelessness
  • Excessive worry or anxiety
  • Guilt
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Changes in sleep or appetite
  • Withdrawal from social activities
  • Feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope

If symptoms persist or affect daily life, professional care can help you navigate through the transition.
