Anxiety can be brought on by many things. One common source of anxiety is separation from home or an attachment figure. It is often thought that a diagnosis of separation anxiety disorder is solely for children. However, there is growing evidence that an adult form of separation anxiety does exist.
A University of Toledo* study found that first semester college students exhibited signs of separation anxiety disorder. In these cases anxiety or panic attacks were associated with separation from attachment figures. This anxiety caused the students to stay closer to home when choosing a college. However, it did not appear to affect the student's academic performance.
Why is the diagnosis important? A diagnosis of panic disorder in this case would not assist in effective treatment because the focus would be upon the physiological symptoms rather than the separation events.
