About DSED

What Is Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder?

Disinhibited social engagement disorder (DSED) is a mental health condition defined by the person’s inappropriate interactions with people they do not know.
Instead of being wary and prudent, an individual with this disorder will not have normal boundaries or fear when speaking with strangers. While disinhibited social engagement disorder is considered a condition that only affects children, it may continue into adulthood and create difficulties for a grown-up who does not know how to behave in social situations.

Assess the behavior of the individual to notice the key traits they exhibit. If the person is young, you should also speak to their parents or caregivers to find out more about their symptoms.
Confirm the symptoms of the patient match the criteria established in the DSM-5 – they are supposed to act very familiar with strangers and show no hesitations in arguably dangerous situations.
Rule out other conditions that may have similar symptoms such as reactive attachment disorder (RAD), and continue to monitor the person to figure out whether they have any underlying mental health problems.

What Can Cause Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder?

While every patient’s story is different, disinhibited social engagement disorder usually stems from early childhood – if the person was abused, neglected, or raised by different caregivers, this may lead to the development of this condition. There are people who went through severe adverse situations early in life, whether they were in foster care or were exposed to violence, which also resulted in the manifestations of this disorder that may last into adolescence and adulthood.

How Long Does DSED Treatment Take?

In most instances, there is no specific recovery timeline for patients with disinhibited social engagement disorder – it is a long-term process that requires multiple therapeutic approaches as well as ongoing support from the person’s family and friends. As for the residential treatment, it may last for a few months depending on the severity and longevity of the condition and the way the patient responds to treatment – if the person is allowed to spend time in a secure and stable environment with no external triggers bothering them, it is possible to manage symptoms successfully within one or two months.

When to Seek Help for Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder?
Parents of children with disinhibited social engagement disorder are advised to act as soon as their kids show willingness to speak or leave with unfamiliar adults. If you are an adult and you exhibit the symptoms of this condition, do not delay treatment even though you may feel like your health and safety are not in danger – do not allow further health complications to derail your life and interfere with your daily functioning. When you feel like you experience emotional distress or relationship difficulties due to emotions and behaviors you cannot control, speak to a mental health professional.
