Abstract

Since 1980 scientific literature has been describing adjustment disorder as an independent phenomenon of subjective distress which is classified in ICD-10 and that arises during the period of adaptation to stressful events and significant changes in lifestyle, interfering with the productivity of social functioning. Adaptation disorder is caused by emotional and stressful factors. These factors do not threaten the physical health of a person, but cause a negative emotional pathological state that disrupts the reaction of adaptation to psychologically changed circumstances, which narrows the person's living space, makes him or her uncomfortable and requires the help of a specialist due to painful emotional experiences and, correspondingly, harms mental health. The aim of the study. The research aims to investigate the causes of mental disorders and non-psychotic mental disorders caused by them as an independent phenomenon, namely, adaptation disorder.
