Adjustment disorder is somewhat related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and is often argued over whether or not it should even be a diagnosis of its own. There are three different types of Adjustment disorder. Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood, Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety, and Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood and Anxiety. I have the latter. People with Adjustment disorder have symptoms of PTSD, but the stressor is usually not something huge, so people with Adjustment Disorder get traumatized at things that aren't exactly very traumatizing. The different types of Adjustment Disorder are for the different ways patients react to their stressor.
I got Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood and Anxiety after being sexually assaulted by someone three times my age.

When one's personality traits and/or behavior become rigid and consistently deviate from the expectations of one's society, consistently blunt one's social life and ability to function appropriately in society. Usually manifested before the age of 15 and persisting into adulthood.
Often the result of abusive or otherwise unstable home environments in childhood, as well as from heavy stress, if not with some influence of genetic predisposition.
The three main clusters of personality disorders are:
A (odd)
*paranoid personality disorder (irrationally suspicious and mistrustful)
*schizoid personality disorder (uninterested in socializing or pleasure)
*schizotypal personality disorder (odd behavior/odd thoughts)
B (dramatic)
*antisocial personality disorder (disregard for laws and for the feelings of others)
*histrionic personality disorder (attention-seeking exhibitionist)
*borderline personality disorder (extreme "black and white" thinking and emotional instability)
*narcissistic personality disorder (grandiose and lacking empathy)
C (anxious)
*avoidant personality disorder (shy, insecure, and highly sensitive)
*dependent personality disorder (psychological dependence on others)
*obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (rigid conformity to rules, morality, and orderliness)

"Insanity can be cured. Personality disorders are so inextricably entwined with the heart and mind and soul that it is well-nigh impossible to excise them."
-Ann Rule, "Small Sacrifices" page 442
It is preferable to be crazy, since "crazy" can be treated; the conscience can't grow back for the sociopath (antisocial personality), the histrionic can't leave center stage, the narcissist can't leave the mirror, and the borderline personality mainly thinks in "black and white" terms.

The passionate urge to run very large distances in a very short amount of time. Normally, without getting tired.
I just ran 5 miles with this dude, and he told me that when he gets home, he's going to run 8 more.
That guy's got an awful case of The Cummings Disorder.
