Hi Anon To me, that is not a particularly idiomatic use of the word "dramatically", but if I had to interpret its meaning in that sentence, I would guess that the writer wanted to suggest that she exhibited her worry in a very emotional way.

Hi,

She dramatically worried about *** taking her child from her.

It's an awkwardly worded and rather unclear sentence.

It sounds like she worried in a manner that seemed excessively dramatic to the people who saw her.



eg maybe she threw herself on the floor repeatedl
