Adjustment Disorder

The development of emotional or behavioral symptoms in response to an identifiable stressor occurring within 3 months of the onset of the stressor.

Symptoms:

Depressed mood, anxious, regularly acting out of the ordinary. May be experiencing sleep and sexual difficulties.

The symptoms would be significant if:

the noted distress is in excess of what would normally be expected from exposure to the stressor; or

there's significant impairment in social or job functioning; and

the stress-related disturbance is not the result of another clinical disorder or a result of Mental Retardation or Personality Disorder and the person is not experiencing bereavement.
