Children with significant and ongoing trauma responses have often been diagnosed with mental health disorders including:
- Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
- Bipolar Disorder
- Conduct Disorder
Increased awareness of the impact of trauma has expanded understanding of mental health diagnoses, and treatment options for children and adults with trauma symptoms.
Trauma-related stress disorder (TRSD) diagnoses, such as Adjustment disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), are now more widely understood and used to describe symptoms specifically related to trauma.
