Adjustment disorders are stress-related mental health conditions that develop in response to an identifiable stressful event or change in circumstances. They can involve emotional or behavioural symptoms and may affect everyday functioning.
Cases involving these conditions can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to diagnosis, causation, psychological impact, functional impairment and subsequent outcomes.
Our psychiatric and psychological expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, assessments and other relevant evidence. They can provide an opinion on matters within their specialist area of expertise.
