Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Attachment disorder is a psychological condition in which an individual has difficulty forming healthy relationships with others, often due to a lack of trust and fear of attachment. This can lead to a range of symptoms, including mood disorders, anxiety, and social withdrawal. The other choices are not directly related to this condition. An inability to trust people and form relationships with others is a key characteristic of attachment disorder. This disorder is caused by early childhood experiences, particularly when there has been a lack of consistent and nurturing care from a primary caregiver. It leads to difficulty forming close relationships later in life, and can have a significant impact on a person's mental health and well-being.
