How do doctors know when a baby has a mental illness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't know of any: Depending on your definition of a baby, i don't know of any identified mental illness in any. One can suspect the possibility one will have problems based on toxic exposures in the womb (alcohol, various meds, etc.) or genetic predisposition. However; I have seen kids who came from worrisome beginnings that grow up normal. Toddlers, now they are a problem unto themselves, but usually a temporary 1.
