There are various causes for other disorders of infancy, childhood or adolescence, some of them are physical while others deal with the environment the child lives in, including parenting abilities. Most of the time, when mild symptoms appear for one of these disorders, nothing is done, causing the problem to escalate and get worse. Stress and trauma in a child's life may be other reasons they begin to have problems with one of these disorders.
