Practitioner review: Early adversity and developmental disorders

Article Abstract:

A selective, narrative review for clinicians of the effects of factors such as exposure to toxins and stresses in utero and in postnatal life, brain injuries and perinatal compromise, neglect, malnutrition and selective food deficiencies is discussed. Results revealed that individuals vary considerably in their exposure to adversity and their vulnerability to its effects, and genetic inheritance can influence both adversity and vulnerability.
