First time I learned this terms from pets. Many dogs and cats will have this problem. When their feeder left home, they might urinate, defecate, bark, howl, chew, dig or try to escape. After I researched form the internet, I found it happened at the children always!
Fussing and crying are the classic signs of separation anxiety disorder. Screaming and tantrums are possible, too. During the day, the child may refuse to leave the parents. During the night, the child may wake up and cry out for the parents.
Symptoms may include:
- Recurrent and excessive distress about being away from home or parents
- Constant, excessive worry about losing a parent to an illness or a disaster
- Constant worry that something bad will happen, such as being lost or kidnapped, causing separation from parents
- Refusing to be away from home because of fear of separation
- Not wanting to be alone and without a parent in the house
- Repeated nightmares about separation
- Frequent complaints of headaches, stomachaches or other symptoms when separation from a parent is anticipated
A news said that a grandfather cannot handle the grandson who have SAD. They need the help of mental health expert or social worker! It's so sad of the news at these few days, too many case about children abuse. If we can pay more attention about mental health, I think many those of case will be prevented!
我第一次從寵物那裡認識這個症狀，許多狗和貓都會有這個問題。當他們的主人離開家時，他們可能會排尿，大便，吠叫，嚎叫，咀嚼，挖掘或試圖逃跑。當我在互聯網在搜尋一番之後，發現這個症狀多數是發生在小孩子身上的！
大哭大哭是分離焦慮症的典型症狀，尖叫和發脾氣也有可能。白天，孩子可能拒絕離開父母；在晚上，孩子可能會醒來，哭泣的找尋父母。
症狀可能包括：
- 因為離開家人經常性覺得痛苦
- 不斷地擔心從生病或災難中失去父母
- 不斷擔心會發生一些不好的事情，比如走失、被綁架或父母分離
- 由於害怕分離，拒絕離開家外出
- 不想在沒有父母時獨留家中
- 多次發分離的噩夢
- 預計會出現頭痛、肚子痛或其他症狀
我看過一篇報導說，爺爺不能處理有SAD的孫子，他們需要精神健康專家或社會工作者的幫助！這幾天的新聞真是太可悲了，關於虐待兒童的個案太多了。如果我們能更多的關注心理健康，我想可以防止這些案件發生！
