What Is Reactive Attachment Disorder?
6. Complications
Children who do not get adequate treatment may experience problems related to RAD for the rest of their lives. In addition, ongoing neglect and abuse can lead to additional complications. Children who are not treated for RAD or who continue in abusive or neglectful situations often have difficulty in school due to cognitive and behavioral challenges.
There is the potential for lifelong difficulties in developing healthy relationships, including those with peers and partners. The possibility exists for mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety or problems controlling anger.
