About Reactive Attachment Disorder

About Reactive Attachment Disorder: "Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a complex term for a complex psychiatric illness. Also called “attachment disorder” and considered by some a form of post-traumatic stress disorder, children with RAD struggle to forge emotional attachments to others, often because of serious disruptions in their early relationships.

Neglect, physical or emotional abuse, placement outside the home in foster care or an orphanage, and multiple changes in caregiver are frequent causes of reactive attachment disorder. Many adopted and foster children have painful histories. Approximately 2 percent of the population is adopted, and between 50 percent and 80 percent of these children display symptoms of attachment disorder."

  1. Useful Topic.....Presently Attachment disorders are rather widespread because anticipations of every persons are increasing day by day. When a child don’t get anything they needed, powerfully then they bear from mental disorders. Reactive Attachment Disorder also seen most of time.It is because of lack of good parenting with adopting child. It's a skill to tackle that type of child.

  2. Dear radconsultancy,
    You obviously have never raised a RAD child. How dare you say an adoptive parent is at fault. Shame on you.
