Reactive Attachment Disorder Age Criteria

The article consistently references to Reactive Attachment Disorder in children, and it could give the view that Reactive Attachment Disorder does not continue into adulthood, despite evidence to prove otherwise. There is also not enough information about Reactive Attachment Disorder post-adolescence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.79.156 (talk) 02:39, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The diagnoses of this disorder in both DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10 is only in children. As it is rare the research is limited although you will note there is mention of the ongoing follow-ups of Romanian orphanage children as they grow up.Fainites ^barleyscribs 20:33, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
