This mood pattern between depression and mania (<strong>Bipolar Disorder<\/strong>) can last for years (<strong>Cyclothymic Disorder<\/strong>), progressively exposing the person to serious risks, such as financial ruin or personal safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"margin-bottom-none wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders<\/strong><br \/>It is inevitable that in life one confronts stressful situations, such as leaving home, changing jobs, becoming a parent, etc., and often these elicit emotional and behavioral symptoms that persist until a new equilibrium is found (<strong>Adjustment Disorders<\/strong>). When the stressful event coincides with exposure to actual death, or threat thereof, serious injury, or sexual violence (whether personally experienced or directly witnessed), it is referred to as <strong>Trauma<\/strong>. The consequences of trauma, even when forgotten, can be complex and severe.
