Attachment Disorder Child and Adolescent Disorders

Attachment Disorder is a mental illness. It is an emotional problem that occurs in the first three years of life and causes children not to attach and bond to their primary caregiver. Without this fundamental attachment, these children often act out behaviorally and are very difficult to parent.
