Neonatal disorders can affect mental health in several ways:
Parental Stress: The stress of having a newborn with a medical condition can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues in parents. Bonding Issues: Prolonged hospital stays and medical interventions can interfere with parent-infant bonding, potentially leading to attachment disorders. Developmental Delays: Some neonatal disorders can result in developmental delays, which may be linked to future mental health challenges.
