Mental and Developmental Disorders that Affect Children?s Emotional and Behavioural Well-Being

Abstract

Author(s):

Mental and developmental disorders that affect children’s emotional and behavioural well-being and underdevelopment are referred to as child mental and developmental disorders. Families and educational systems must provide significantly more assistance to children with these disorders; frequently, the disorders persist into adulthood. These children are more likely to have a skewed developmental trajectory, require more disability and medical services, and are more likely to interact with law enforcement.
