Adjustment Disorder: Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Treatment
CNS Drugs, 10/29/09

Casey P – Adjustment disorders are difficult to distinguish from normal responses to life's stressors, while the distinction from major depression also poses a classificatory conundrum since both are conceptually different.

Treatments consist mainly of brief interventions, while pharmacotherapy is limited to the symptomatic management of anxiety or insomnia.
