Extreme emotional or social deprivation can stunt height growth

[PerfectIncel]

Deprivation dwarfism is a form of growth failure that occurs in children due to extreme emotional or social deprivation, even if nutrition is adequate.

It’s not caused by physical illness or malnutrition directly, it is caused by psychological stress, neglect, or lack of emotional nurturing.
