Abstract

In the clinical diagnosis and treatment of children with short stature, mental health issues merit special attention. It is widely acknowledged that the psychological well-being of children with short stature is lower than that of their peers with normal height. Therefore, during the diagnosis, treatment, and care of short stature, it is crucial to actively monitor the mental health of these children, promptly identify potential psychological and behavioral issues, and intervene accordingly. Such measures play a positive role in enhancing the quality of life of these children and improving their physical and mental health. This article analyses and discusses the current state of psychological assessment and psycho-behavioral interventions for children with short stature, aiming to provide insights for improving their mental health.
