If you've ever felt overwhelmed by these changes, you're not alone. Many people experience what's known as adjustment disorder, a perfectly normal reaction to life's significant shifts. What Exactly is Adjustment Disorder? Think of adjustment disorder as your mind's way of saying, "Whoa, this is a lot to handle!"
