Adaptive Disorder

An adaptive disorder is a health condition caused by an allostatic load that alters gene expression causing illness and disease. Almost all disorders, illnesses and diseases, could be called adaptive disorders. An adaptive disorder can be both inherited or manifested through lifestyle patterns. A simply example of an adaptive disorder would be anxiety, where the condition of anxiety is caused by habitual patterns of stress that modifies gene expression.
