- Summary:
- Mrs. Littleton is experiencing some difficulty since moving away from her home in New York. She wrings her hands and her body is hunched over as she describes the life she left behind. She reports that since her big move she has had increasing feelings of panic. As a teacher, it has been difficult for her to start a new job at a new school. Her feelings of nervousness have made it difficult to interact with people at work or socially.This training title highlights the major symptoms of Adjustment Anxiety Disorder. Symptoms of Adjustment Anxiety Disorder may include: The development of emotional or behavioral symptoms in response to an identifiable stressor(s) occurring within three months of the onset of the stressor(s). These symptoms or behaviors are clinically significant as evidenced by one or both of the following: marked distress that is in excess of what would be expected from exposure to the stressor and/or significant impairment in social or occupational (academic) functioning. The stress-related disturbance does not meet the criteria for another mental disorder and is not merely an exacerbation of a preexisting mental disorder. Once the stressor (or its consequences) has terminated, the symptoms do not persist for more than an additional six months.
