Reactive Attachment Disorder (Ras)

RAD is a serious condition where children fail to form healthy attachments with caregivers due to extreme neglect or abuse in early life. Children with RAD may be emotionally withdrawn, struggle to seek or accept comfort, and have difficulty regulating their emotions. Treatment for RAD typically involves creating a stable, nurturing environment and may include specialised therapies to help children develop healthy attachment patterns.
