Separation Anxiety Disorder can occur in which context?

Separation Anxiety Disorder is driven by distress when away from attachment figures. The setting that best reflects this pattern is daily life away from home, such as going to work or school, where leaving the parent or caregiver triggers significant worry or impairment. While symptoms can arise in other moments (like sleep or meals) or in adults with a childhood-onset history, the most representative context for the disorder’s typical functioning is being at work or school.
