ABSTRACT
The ability to adjust is an important feature of every human to lead a happy and peaceful life. Though adjustment disorder is a very common phenomenon, its diagnosis is quite difficult. Thus, making it a rare clinical picture. Since it is difficult to diagnose, it warrants more study on the matter and in-depth research into the different effective and innovative treatment modalities available. Homoeopathy is a system of medicine which deals with understanding the patient as a whole and aims to treat the cause of the disease. Likewise, in adjustment disorder, Homoeopathic medicine focuses on treating the cause of disease, depending on the case.
