What Is Reactive Attachment Disorder?
3. Transmission
RAD is not a condition that can be transmitted between people. It is a behavioral, emotional and psychological condition that results from maltreatment or neglect. None of the causes associated with the condition are contagious.
Caregivers who are responsible for providing for a child with RAD have no risk of developing the condition themselves. Working with professionals to provide adequate care and treatment is necessary to improve the child’s condition.
