For infants and young children, mental health and physical health are intertwined, just as they are for adults.

Infants and toddlers may not always be able to talk about their mental health conditions, but they can show physical symptoms and behavioral changes that professionals are trained to notice. These symptoms can often be overlooked or dismissed, but experts are able to tell when these are early signs of something that could become a severe mental health issue in the future.

Babies and toddlers can and do suffer from mental health problems caused by trauma, neglect, biological factors, or environmental situations.
