Our new study highlights a crucial, but often hidden, aspect of child health – the mental health impact of living with two or more neurodevelopmental conditions.
We found children with multiple neurodevelopmental conditions – such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, learning difficulties, developmental delay, speech disorders, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, Tourette syndrome and behavioural problems – are much more likely to have depression and anxiety.
