Adult Outcomes of Children With Reactive Attachment Disorder in a Non-Institutionalized Sample

Conclusions: This study describes the natural history of RAD into adulthood in a non-institutionalized sample. The findings suggest that children with RAD have a high burden of psychiatric comorbidities and reduced psychosocial functioning into adulthood that extend beyond the impairment associated with ADHD, a common comorbidity in RAD. These findings highlight the continuous impact of early attachment difficulties on the developmental trajectory of children.PMID:37870368 | DOI:10.4088/JCP.23m14994
