Separation Anxiety Disorder
The one who usually provides guidance on separation anxiety disorder is the child psychologist together with the psychiatrist, since it involves an excessive fear of separating from attachment figures, such as parents or caregivers. Although it is more common in childhood, it can occur at different stages of life.
How it may present:
- Intense distress when anticipating or experiencing separation
- Physical complaints such as headache or stomachache
- Reluctance to sleep alone or to attend school
When to seek support? When the distress is disproportionate, is prolonged, or interferes with routine and relationships, an evaluation is worthwhile.
A mental health professional can support both the person and the family; raising the concern during a visit is a good starting point.
