How is adjustment disorder treated?

Adjustment disorders are best managed if caught and treated early.

Talk therapy (psychotherapy) is the main treatment. Since a situation or stress is what causes adjustment disorder, having someone to talk to that you trust and getting the tools you need to learn how to better cope with the situation can be really helpful.

Individual, family or group therapy (support groups) are also helpful. Family therapy is often used if the person is a child or teenager.
