Chrissy, Emily and Kristin want you to know that your mental health matters! “You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared, or anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a ‘negative person.’ It makes you human.”– Lori Deschene

What is Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)?

According the the DSM V, RAD is a consistent pattern of inhibited and emotionally withdrawn behavior towards adult caregivers manifested by lack of seeking comfort when distressed and not responding to being given comfort when distressed. It also includes social and emotional disturbances characterized by minimal social and emotional responsiveness to others, limited positive affect, and episodes of unexplained irritability, sadness, or fearfulness during nonthreatening interactions with adult caregivers. The child has to have experienced a pattern of extreme insufficient care as evidenced by social neglect or deprivation by not having needs met for comfort, simulation, or affection by caregivers, repeated changes in caregivers that limit opportunities to form stable attachments, and resting in unusual settings.

What is adjustment disorder?

According to the DSM 5 an adjustment disorder can happen when someone develops emotional or behavioral symptoms in response to an identifiable stressor within 3 months of that stressor happening. Symptoms cause significant distress and impairment in areas of functioning, they do not meet criteria for another disorder and symptoms do not persist for more than 6 months after the stressor/its consequences end.

Examples of things that cause adjustment disorders: moves, divorce, bullying, major life changes, retirement, unexpected catastrophes and more.
