When a major life change occurs—like a move, a divorce, or a job loss—it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. However, for some, this stress manifests as Adjustment Disorder with Disturbance of Conduct. Unlike the subtypes that cause sadness or anxiety, this specific diagnosis involves "acting out" through behaviors that violate social norms or the rights of others, such as sudden defiance, recklessness, or uncharacteristic aggression.
