Name(s): 
Nonorganic failure to thrive
Deprivation dwarfism
Nature 
Child's social, emotional, or nutritional environment is disturbed to the point where it interferes with normal growth and development. Some children with emotional deprivation and growth retardation may be secreting abnormally low amounts of pituitary growth hormone causing deprivation dwarfism. When these children are removed from their emotionally disturbing environments, they grow rapidly and release of growth hormone returns to normal.
