1. Basics of
Separation
Anxiety Disorder

2. INTRODUCTION
Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is this continuous fear of getting separated from a
child’s family or parents into an unfamiliar environment.
This particular anxiety of being separated is quite common in children from 18 months to 3
years of old.
And they kind of surpass the emotion towards the age of preschools and coming years.
Yet there are some who still show certain reckless symptoms of anxiousness in their 4 to 6
years of age and it is then it is diagnosed as a disorder.
The children with this disorder seem to have anxiety for a prolonged period of time per say
4 weeks continuously which is a serious issue.

3. SAD is not limited to any particular gender; both
male and female children suffer from this mental
health problem.
This can even be genetic, the children of parents
who had SAD in childhood can develop symptoms of
the disorder.
If your child starts to show certain symptoms as
mentioned below it is better that you immediately
contact the best occupational therapists around your
area for a clear precision over the matter.

4. The symptoms
include:
Unnecessary stress and tension of getting
separated from home
Too much worrying over the safety of a
family member and the fear that something
bad might happen to him or her
Reluctant to go to school or any other
place without being accompanied
Recurring nightmares about being
seperated from family members
Refusal to sleep alone, always want
someone to sleep along
Bed wetting
Physical complaints including
headaches and stomachaches on
school days to avoid going to school
Repeated pleading over someone
leaving the house
Panic attacks at the time of
separation

5. CONCLUSION
Separation Anxiety Disorder must never be taken as
simple as it can lead to many serious complications
in children including prolonged trauma, depression,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, different phobias
etc.
Thus it is always best to consult any best
rehabilitation centers in Dubai or any place nearer
to you upon noticing these physical signs and
symbols.
Because getting past these anxieties and moving
forward into a smooth social life is the important
part of an independent life.
