	Separation anxiety disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Separation anxiety disorder (or simply separation anxiety) is a psychological condition in which an individual has excessive anxiety regarding separation from home or from people to whom the individual has a strong emotional attachment.
		Separation anxiety is not limited to humans: other animals may exhibit symptoms of anxiety as well when separated from a companion, either a human or another animal, or when removed from their familiar environment.
		Pets in particular may experience this disorder, as do animals which are socialised in pacts, or any animal which has a close attachment to another.

		Some children may be more vulnerable to separation anxiety based on their temperament (ie, level of anxiety dealing with new situations) or based on environmental stresses such as the death of a close relative or an interactive pattern with an over-protective, needy, or depressed parent.
		Separation anxiety disorder generally manifests with clinically significant symptoms of anxiety such as unrealistic and recurrent worries about harm of loved ones, especially when separated or faced with threatened separation from the primary attachment figure, along with severe distress and impairment in functioning.
