What Is Reactive Attachment Disorder?
9. Prognosis
The prognosis is good when children, and their caregivers, receive adequate treatment for RAD. These treatments help children form healthy bonds with their caregivers. This leads to an increased likelihood that they will have the skills to form strong relationships with others in the future.
When children with RAD do not receive proper treatment, there is the risk for lifelong behavioral and mental health issues. This is particularly true when they remain in abusive or neglectful environments. In these situations, treatment later in life can still be beneficial.
