Child and family conditions
Child abuse (Emotional abuse)Emotional abuse in child abuse involves persistent psychological maltreatment causing impaired development and behavioral issues, often without visible physical signs.Child abuse (Neglect)Child abuse (Neglect) involves failure to provide basic needs like food, shelter, medical care, or supervision, leading to physical and developmental harm.Child abuse (Physical abuse)Physical child abuse involves intentional injury causing bruises or fractures, often identified by inconsistent history and multiple injury stages on imaging.Child abuse (Sexual abuse)Child abuse (sexual abuse) involves non-consensual sexual acts causing trauma, often identified by inconsistent histories and physical findings in vulnerable children.Delayed child development (3-5 yr, Motor Skills)Delayed child development (3-5 yr, Motor Skills) involves impaired coordination and muscle control, often linked to neurological or muscular disorders in early childhood.Delayed child development (3-5 yr, Social Skills)Delayed child development (3-5 yr, Social Skills) involves impaired social interaction and communication, often linked to early neurodevelopmental disruptions.Delayed child development (3-5 yr, Verbal/Cognitive Skills)Delayed child development (3-5 yr, Verbal/Cognitive Skills) involves impaired language and thinking abilities often linked to neurodevelopmental delays in early childhood.Delayed child development (12-36 mo, Motor Skills)Delayed child development (12-36 mo, Motor Skills) involves impaired gross and fine motor milestones, often signaling neuromuscular or central nervous system issues.Delayed child development (12-36 mo, Social Skills)Delayed child development (12-36 mo, Social Skills) involves impaired social interaction and communication, often signaling early neurodevelopmental disorders.Delayed child development (12-36 mo, Verbal/Cognitive Skills)Delayed child development (12-36 mo, verbal/cognitive skills) involves slower language and problem-solving milestones, often linked to neurodevelopmental delays.Delayed infant development (0-12 mo, Motor Skills)Delayed infant development (0-12 mo, Motor Skills) involves impaired motor milestones due to neuromuscular or central nervous system dysfunction in early infancy.Delayed infant development (0-12 mo, Social Skills)Delayed infant development (0-12 mo, Social Skills) involves slowed progress in early social interactions, such as limited eye contact, reduced smiling, and poor response to caregivers.Delayed infant development (0-12 mo, Verbal/Cognitive Skills)Delayed infant development (0-12 mo, verbal/cognitive skills) involves impaired early speech and recognition milestones, often linked to neurological or metabolic disorders.Vulnerable child syndromeVulnerable child syndrome involves a parent's perception that their child is unusually fragile, often after a serious illness or medical event, leading to overprotection.
