Anxiety Disorder Due To Separation - Know How It Hampers Life Quality!

People who have been brought up with extremely over-bearing parents or suffered from separation anxiety as a child or are suffering from panic disorder, personality disorder, social anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder are at high risk of developing a separation anxiety disorder in adults.

Separation anxiety in most cases is first seen in childhood. For children suffering from separation anxiety, they face difficulty being separated from their parents. When this keeps happening on a regular basis the child does not get the opportunity to undergo complete psychosocial development. This then gets carried over into adulthood and gives rise to a number of anxiety issues.

Separation anxiety disorder in adults is marked by extreme fear or anxiety separated from a close friend or their spouse. A person is diagnosed with separation anxiety disorder only when the sign and symptoms have to be present for at least six months in adults.

People suffering from separation anxiety disorder tend to be extremely sad and anxious when separated or away from their loved one. Such fears include harm coming to your loved one. Or even fear of losing them.
