Description
Summary:The impact of anxiety and injuries caused by severe stress can contribute to the manifestation of more severe disorders in children. The authors of this article have reported a case involving a five-and-a-half-year-old child who formed an insecure attachment or reliance on his father after experiencing several instances of anxiety attacks (panic attacks). The child was assessed utilizing the Conner’s QEEG test (Conner Rating Scale-Revised) parent version and the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS). Subsequently, a treatment plan incorporating drug administration, Loretta neurofeedback, and psychological counseling was implemented. Notably, session three of QEEG demonstrated a decline in anxiety levels. However, no changes were observed in the child’s insecure attachment and reliance on the father. Hence, adopting a trans-diagnostic and dimensional approach is crucial when assessing uncommon cases and developing treatment protocols tailored to each disorder.
