The core reason of mental illness and the trauma of being a Neglected child


  Everyone just talk about mental illness but no one talk about the factors which trigger mental illness or any Psychological disorders.

The most authentic reason behind mental disorder is family. Any mental disorder or Psychological issue starts from family.

Overall personality of a person depends on how their family treat them. It's the family who shapes and destroy a personality. Parents behave in such a pathogenic ways that leads to mental illness.

Here I am highlight the unsupportive attitude/negligence and lack of love from parents.

1. Inferiority complex:

A neglected child may be very emotional, obsessive and jealoused. He feels inferior to others and will always see world as a cruel and unsympathetic. He will doubt his own abilities due to the lack of love and support from their family. He grew up either being too emotional or cruel. Due to unsupportive nature of parents who always humiliate their child in front of others a child faced difficulty in maintaining relationship in adulthood. He must have difficulty in his personal life as well as professional life, poor decision making skills , poor coping skills and problem solving skills.

2. Reassurance: 

A neglected child needs constant reassurance from others that people love them and their childish act make people distant from them. And later that neglected child will feel loneliness and other Psychological issues which leads them to depression . This is how mental illness is related to family.

3. Victim of toxic relationship:

Negligence leads to more serious issues as well. They often become a victim of toxic relationships. As a neglected child is in a constant search of love and sympathy. So whenever he get love and support outside their family they may form a relationship with a wrong person and become too attached and dependent on that person which ultimately leads them to more pain.

This is the reason we always see people begging for Love because they belongs to a unsupportive family and they aren't emotionally stable.

4. Self doubt:

When parents starts humiliating their child all the time, degrade their abilities and start pointing out every mistake of their child will start doubting his own abilities and feel shameful about his actions. They spent their whole in self doubt. On the other side, a neglected child see world as a cruel and untrustworthy. They have hard time trusting on others. Since they have bitter relationship with parents due to which they think that other people are also not able to trust like their parents.

Since a neglected is deprived from love,care and affection from their parents, this lack of love often create clashes in their personal relationships because they often do not know how to love correctly, they might become overly sensitive in relationship, very caring, needs constant attention or they might become cold and do not allow anyone to love them.

5. Socializing skills:

Neglected child often become a victim of depression, anxiety and loneliness. It has been reported that from different researchers that most of the introverts are neglected child. Since they are not attached to their parents due to which they do not know how to be comfortable around people. As they low socializing skills which leads them to Psychological issues.

Parents need to understand that lack of love, affection and attention leads to severe mental health problems to their child. A child can never live a healthy life until he/she has loving and satisfactory relationship with their parents. A child needs their parent's emotional support in every step of their life. Parent's love and affection is a big strength to deal with problems.
