Neonatal Psychology

Neonatal Psychology is the study of behavior and the mind. Infants can suffer serious mental health disorders, yet they are unlikely to receive treatment that could prevent lasting developmental problems. While mental health issues can be difficult to diagnose in babies who can’t talk about their thoughts and feelings, infants are capable of feeling anxiety, stress and even depression. In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist.
