Bronish and Hecht (1989) found that 70% of a series of patients with adjustment disorder attempted suicide immediately before their index admission and they remitted faster than a comparison group with major depression. Asnis et al. (1993) found that adjustment disorder patients report persistent ideation or suicide attempts less frequently than those diagnosed with major depression. According to a study on 82 adjustment disorder patients at a clinic, Bolu et al. (2012) found that 22 (26.8%) of these patients were admitted due to suicide attempt, consistent with previous findings. In addition, it was found that 15 of these 22 patients chose suicide methods that involved high chances of being saved. Henriksson et al. (2005) states statistically that the stressors are of one-half related to parental issues and one-third in peer issues. One hypothesis about adjustment disorder is that it may represent a sub-threshold clinical syndrome. Subtypes and their symptoms Adjustment disorder has six different subtypes, and they are all based on what the main symptoms are. Those subtypes are as follows: With depressed mood: depression, hopelessness, lack of interest or joy from previously enjoyed hobbies, tearfulness With anxiety: anxiousness, being overwhelmed, trouble concentrating, worry, separation anxiety (common in children) With anxiety and depressed mood: combination of symptoms from both subtypes above With disturbance of conduct: acting destructive, reckless behavior, rebellious With mixed disturbance of emotions and conduct: combination of symptoms from both subtypes above Unspecified: symptoms that do not fall into above subtypes; often include physical symptoms and withdrawal from everyday activities Risk factors Those exposed to repeated trauma are at greater risk, even if that trauma is in the past. Age can be a factor due to young children having fewer coping resources and because they are less likely to realize the consequences of a potential stressor. A stressor is generally an event of a serious, unusual nature that an individual or group of individuals experience. Adjustment disorders can come from a wide range of stressors that can be traumatic or relatively minor, like the loss of a girlfriend/boyfriend, a poor report card, or moving to a new neighborhood. It is thought that the more often the stressor occurs, the more likely it is to produce adjustment disorder. The objective nature of the stressor is of secondary importance. A stressor gains its pathogenic potential when the patient perceives it as stressful. The identification of a causal stressor is necessary
