But nevertheless, I do agree that adjusting to my new life and expectations was stressful and difficult."<BR/><BR/>That's what I really hate about the adjustment disorder category (as well as many other things in psychiatry). There seems to be this automatic assumption that normal people don't have problems, and people who have problems aren't normal. About the only category in the DSM that suggests normal people can have problems is PTSD, and even there some researchers seem to view PTSD in that way (particularly those who study milder traumas where most people get subclinical PTSD instead of meeting the overly restrictive full criteria).Ettinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230821659466586897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16512440.post-53063774128617270972009-01-12T14:31:00.000-05:002009-01-12T14:31:00.000-05:00Excellent post for helping other parents see a ran...Excellent post for helping other parents see a range of coping skills.
