Adjustment Problems

Symptoms:

• Difficulty coping with major life changes (e.g., moving, changing jobs, losing a loved one)

• Feelings of confusion, sadness, or overwhelm

• Difficulty accepting new roles or responsibilities

• Changes in behavior, such as withdrawing from social activities or avoiding responsibilities

Impact on Life:

Adjustment issues can affect various areas of life, making it hard to function at work, in social settings, or in relationships. These challenges may persist, leading to ongoing emotional distress.

Why It Happens:

Adjustment problems are common during significant life changes or transitions, such as starting a new job, getting married, or facing loss. These changes can overwhelm one’s ability to adapt and cope effectively.

Why Seek Professional Help:

Therapists can help individuals navigate life changes more smoothly by providing tools to adjust, manage emotions, and build resilience. Professional support helps ease the transition, promoting emotional stability and well-being.
