adjustment disorder a mental disorder characterized by a maladaptive reaction to identifiable stressful life events, such as divorce, loss of job, physical illness, or natural disaster; this diagnosis assumes that the condition will remit when the stress ceases or when the patient adapts to the situation.
To adjust is to make a minor change, as to move into proper position for use: to adjust the eyepiece of a telescope. To adapt is to make a change in character, or to make something useful in a new way: to adapt a method to a new task. To alter is to change the appearance but not the use: to alter a suit.
