Separation
Separation anxiety occurs from a perceived loss of security in children who have difficulty 'letting go' of a parent or carer. Babies can become anxious when separated from their primary carer not knowing when, or if, the carer will return. Young children develop anxiety disorders fearing a parent or carer will fall ill or be involved in an accident during periods of separation. Adults can also suffer separation anxiety disorders when apart from their children or partner. |
