Many studies have demonstrated that an environment with constant and extreme [[stress]] is the cause of psychogenic dwarfism for children. Stress releases hormones in the children's bodies such as [[epinephrine]] and [[norepinephrine]], engaging what is known as the "fight or flight" response, decreaseing the production of [[growth hormone]] (GH), resulting in [[dyspepsia]] of nutrients and further affecting growth and development. | |||

Many studies have demonstrated that an environment with constant and extreme stress is the cause of psychogenic dwarfism for children. Stress releases hormones in the children's bodies such as epinephrine and norepinephrine, engaging what is known as the "fight or flight" response, decreaseing the production of growth hormone (GH), resulting in dyspepsia of nutrients and further affecting growth and development.
