To study clinical manifestations of separation anxiety disorder (SAD) in adults with nonpsychotic mental disorders. Fifty outpatients over 18 years of age with SAD and comorbid non-psychotic mental disorders were assessed for diagnosis by MINI and the Structured Clinical Interview for Separation Anxiety Symptoms (SCI-SAS), the Adult Separation Anxiety Self-Report Checklist (ASA-27), HARS, the Experiences in Close Relationship Scale (ECR), the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5), the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q). Two clinical variants of the disorder: affective and cognitive-behavioral as well as two variants of the course: with onset in childhood and in adults are identified. Clinical variants and types differ in the spectrum of comorbidity, objects and styles of attachment, personality characteristics as well as correlations and prognosis.
