Psychosocial Issues

Psychosocial issues in developmental-behavioral pediatrics refer to challenges that affect a child's emotional and social well-being as they grow. These issues can include anxiety, depression, social difficulties, or family stress, which impact their behavior and development. Understanding these concerns is crucial, as they can influence a child's relationships, school performance, and overall quality of life. Addressing psychosocial issues involves recognizing their effects on the child and family, providing support and interventions to foster healthy emotional and social growth, and ensuring a positive developmental trajectory.
