Are Your Kid’s Meltdowns a Sign of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria?
If you’ve noticed that your child is exhibiting sudden emotional outbursts, crying, or even aggressive behavior when they feel rejected or criticized—often leading to social isolation—it’s possible that they are affected by Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).
Rejection Sensitive Dsyphoria is an emotional sensitivity and emotional pain triggered by the perception—not necessarily the reality—of being rejected, teased, or criticized by important people in one’s life. It is often a symptom of ADHD, but can also present as a stand alone condition.
