What is definition of Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Mental Health Conditions?

Neurodevelopmental Disorders are a group of mental health conditions that typically manifest early in childhood and affect a person’s brain development and functioning. These disorders are characterized by developmental impairments in certain areas, such as cognition, communication, social interaction, and motor skills. Examples of neurodevelopmental disorders include autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intellectual disability, and specific learning disorders. These conditions can have a significant impact on an individual’s daily functioning, relationships, and overall quality of life.
