Disinhibited Attachment Disorder (DAD) is a childhood psychiatric condition
characterized by indiscriminate social behavior, lack of appropriate fear or caution
with unfamiliar adults, and an inability to form selective attachments with
primary caregivers. Children with DAD may exhibit overly friendly and familiar
behavior toward strangers, showing little to no hesitation in approaching and
interacting with them. This behavior contrasts with the typical behavior of
securely attached children, who demonstrate a healthy level of caution and
reserve with unfamiliar individuals. DAD often arises from experiences of
neglect, abuse, or inconsistent caregiving during early childhood, disrupting
the formation of secure attachments. The disorder can lead to difficulties in
forming meaningful relationships, impairments in social functioning, and
challenges in regulating emotions. Treatment typically involves therapeutic
interventions aimed at repairing attachment bonds, improving social skills, and
addressing underlying trauma or family dynamics contributing to the disorder.
Early intervention is essential to promote healthy attachment and emotional
development in affected children.
