<P> Adjustment disorders have the ability to be self - limiting . Within five years of when they are originally diagnosed, approximately 20%--50% of the sufferers go on to be diagnosed with psychiatric disorders that are more serious . </P> <P> International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, mostly known as "ICD", assigns codes to classify diseases, symptoms, complaints, social behaviors, injuries, and such medical - related findings . </P> <P> ICD 10 classifies adjustment disorders under F40 - F48 and under neurotic, stress - related and somatoform disorders . </P> <P> The recommended treatment for adjustment disorder is psychotherapy . The goal of psychotherapy is symptom relief and behavior change . Anxiety may be presented as "a signal from the body" that something in the patient's life needs to change . Treatment allows the patient to put his or her distress or rage into words rather than into destructive actions . Individual therapy can help a person gain the support they need, identify abnormal responses and maximize the use of the individual's strengths . Counseling, psychotherapy, crisis intervention, family therapy, behavioral therapy and self - help group treatment are often used to encourage the verbalization of fears, anxiety, rage, helplessness, and hopelessness . Sometimes small doses of antidepressants and anxiolytics are used in addition to other forms of treatment . In patients with severe life stresses and a significant anxious component, benzodiazepines are used, although non-addictive alternatives have been recommended for patients with current or past heavy alcohol use, because of the greater risk of dependence . Tianeptine, alprazolam, and mianserin were found to be equally effective in patients with AD with anxiety . Additionally, antidepressants, antipsychotics (rarely) and stimulants (for individuals who became extremely withdrawn) have been used in treatment plans . </P>
