A young man sitting on a park bench with his head bowed and hands clasped in prayer. There is a newspaper and paper coffee cup on the bench beside him, and a backpack next to the newspaper. In the background, people are walking and jogging in a park with autumn-colored trees and a city skyline in the distance.

Adjustment disorders occur when emotional or behavioral symptoms develop in response to a stressful life event.
