What is Adjustment Disorder? I have recently been diagnosed with Adjustment Disorder on top Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. When I look back over the past 10 months it almost seems a normal response. My husband suffered an accident resulting in permanent disability, my little dog Daisy died, we downsized and moved house due to financial stress, my daughter was hit by a car, fractured her spine and is still recovering, I went through a court case against my childhood sexual abuse perpetrator, which included giving testimony and an impact statement once again triggering past trauma. Adjustment disorder.... go figure!
