Are there ways to prevent adjustment disorder from happening?

Although we can’t control the world around us, there are things we can do to feel better when stressors arise. Strategies include:

• Build up your support system: Engage your family, friends and groups you’re in to support you and uplift you in troubled times.
• Do self-care regularly: Spend time taking care of yourself. Take a hot bath, read a book, write in a journal, go for a walk or play with your pets. Take time for yourself. Do things that make you feel better and make you happy. Set a regular schedule for “me time.”
