There are many triggers for adjustment disorders, and each individual has their own vulnerability factors such as the death of someone important in life, loss of a job, and many other factors. In this study, adjustment disorders were caused by many events in the subject's life that came together, including the loss of several family members due to exposure to the Covid-19 virus, requests from the school to transfer children to another school, and getting pressure to complete doctoral education from the campus. Several events experienced by the subject caused stress but the subject was unable to manage the emotions and stress he experienced properly. Based on the results of the assessment using observation, interviews, and psychological tests, it was found that the subject had an adjustment disorder.
