Depression After Moving – The Psychology of Relocating
Believe it or not, in 12% of all psychiatric consultations all across America, adjustment disorder is diagnosed, and depression after moving is one of the common causes of it.

Ending up feeling sad, confused, anxious, and depressed can be the consequence of current feelings and improper mental and emotional preparation.
