Adjustment [and] Disorder

Social worker has a baby. Five months later she figures out that motherhood is just one long adjustment disorder.

WTF??
What is an Adjustment Disorder?

Officially, it's "a psychological response from an identifiable stressor or group of stressors that causes significant emotional or behavioral symptoms that does not meet criteria for more specific disorders." In new mother speak, it's when you realize that everything you knew about yourself and your life before you gave birth no longer applies.
