| Core Tip |
Global developmental delay (GDD) affects up to 3% of children and is frequently complicated by psychiatric comorbidities, which may worsen long-term outcomes. In this 2-year retrospective cohort study of 100 children with GDD, 68% developed psychiatric disorders, most commonly attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and anxiety. Children with multiple psychiatric comorbidities demonstrated significantly poorer developmental quotients compared to those without comorbidities. Early intervention, particularly in language and social domains, improved developmental outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of early psychiatric screening and integrated intervention strategies to optimize trajectories in children with GDD. |
