ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a type of therapy called Transdiagnostic Behavior Therapy (TBT) to see if it can help reduce symptoms of Adjustment Disorder (AjD) in military service members and veterans. Adjustment Disorder is a mental health condition that can happen after experiencing a very stressful event, such as losing a comrade or being involved in a serious accident. The researchers want to find out if TBT is more effective than the usual treatment, which is a problem-solving therapy called Moving Forward Problem Solving Therapy.

To join the study, participants need to be at least 18 years old and have served in the military. They must also have a diagnosis of Adjustment Disorder and have been stable on any medications for at least four weeks. The study is looking for adults of any gender. During the trial, participants will receive either TBT or the usual treatment and will be monitored for their symptoms. This research aims to provide better treatment options for those struggling with AjD, which is often not adequately addressed.
