anxiety

Avatar f tn Ambivalent, disorganized, and avoidant attachment are types of insecure attachment but are not considered an attachment disorder. RAD (reactive attachment disorder) is typically applied to children who fail to attach (for example, children adopted after being in an orphanage for a longer period of time). Developmental trauma disorder is, regretfully, also not a specific disorder, although it should be.
Avatar n tn An attachment disorder alone can cause a child to do this. If he does have an attachment disorder - he needs SERIOUS help from a traine professional. It is a horrible disorder caused by abuse/neglect in early childhood. (Horrible not just for them but for everyone around them.) He does need to be evaluated to find out if he was sexually abused also. How could the courts rule that it didn't happen if he was evaluated for it?
Avatar f tn PTSD, Attachment Disorders, Eating Disorders, Panic Disorders, Depersonalization, Derealization, Dissociation, Anxiety, Depression, and the like are VERY REAL DISORDER. Many of them have chemical components to them, but they also have many other emotional, behavioral, and psychological components to them. They are highly treatable, but it takes a good doctor and therapist. As for the persons initial question, there are a wide variety of disorders that can occur due to childhood trauma.
Avatar m tn After the birth of my son which was last year, he always seemed annoyed and unhappy. When I consult the doctor regarding this, they told me it is due to Reactive Attachment Disorder. When I searched on the internet for some information regarding it, I got scared.

Avatar f tn I think you need a much better counselor. These girls have been traumatized first by their biological parents splitting up (no matter what the circumstance - this is still traumatizing to a child), then by living in such a dysfunctional environment with their mother who was unavailable to fill their emotional needs and their "new Dad" who was abusive. Then they were taken away from there and now live with their real Dad and "new Mom" and his "new family"..
Avatar f tn s had some tough times in life with the loss of family members including parents. I wonder if this unusual attachment to these monkeys is him trying to keep his family's memory alive? Is he lonely? Depressed? Are these monkeys some sort of extension of him? Lately, he seems to want to interact with the monkey more than me. He hugs it and caresses it instead of me. I've tried to be understanding with an "oh that's cute" mentality, but I just don't understand anymore.

Avatar m tn t cause a diagnosis of add/adhd but it will make the disorder harder to deal with and in the long run cause great stress and damage to your daughter.

Avatar n tn I'm a 31 year old heterosexual male who has had a long dark relationship history. I'm a recovering sex addict who has been married 3 times and always has to be in a relationship. I just attended my first sex addict’s anonymous meeting. I'm seeing a therapist once a week for this and among other things, and she seems to think I have a form of Attachment Disorder.
Avatar f tn Approximately 30%-40% of people with ADHD have an anxiety disorder such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)/excessive worry, agoraphobia, panic disorder or other anxiety issues." (From the first link below) - you may be correct in your thinking. Let me first give you a few very good links on adults, ADHD, and anxiety. This is a great piece on ADHD and Anxiety. You might even want to print it out and give it you your psyc.
Avatar f tn When I was adopted as an infant of a couple months old, my non-biological mother gave me a baby blanket, blue with teddy bears playing with balls and blocks and lollipops. I've had this blanket nearly my whole life, and still sleep with it today. I don't really know if it's normal for a teenager to sleep with his/her baby blanket, since you're older and don't really need it any more. I can certainly sleep without it now.

Avatar n tn ) He was diagnosed with ADHD at age 5 and was recently diagnosed with OCD/Anxiety disorder. His Dr. has prescribed him Celexa for the OCD/Anxiety disorder. I have read that this medication is not recommended in children. Is it safe for him to take this medication? Or is there anywhere I can look for information on the use of this medication in children?
Avatar f tn All kids (and adults for that matter) have sensory issues but it becomes a disorder if a child can not cope. Google it and see what you think. My son is picky about clothing and I take his concerns to heart. Who wants something itching your neck? Find some shirts that work and cut out the tags.
Avatar f tn Adults chew gum, pace, etc. Everyone has ways of coping. True clinical anxiety is a disorder that a physician can diagnose, however, I wouldn't assume this is the case. I do believe that talking to your grandson would be helpful. While clinical DSM 4 anxiety can be treated with medication, having worked in this field for many years--- I can tell you that almost always physicians suggest "talk" therapy as well. This is an important piece of the puzzle.
Avatar f tn It appears your daughter is suffering from anxiety - whether it be separation or generalized or social is irrelevant. I suspect the health issues you have stated are all the result of untreated anxiety. If anxiety is the issue, I assure you that your daughter will not outgrow it nor will it go away. Untreated anxiety can ruin a life. By the way, anxiety is highly treatable and a very common mental health issue.
