Jeanie has been either abused or neglected for the better part of her childhood. She was never given any love or social validation, was often made to go without adequate food, and never had a stimulating environment with toys or books. She now has a rather significant case of intellectual disability. How would her case be best classified?

Answer:

Cultural-familial

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeanie has been either uncared for, for the better part of her childhood. She was never given any love or social validation, was often made to go without adequate food, and never had a stimulating environment with toys or books. This contributed to her being cultural-familial declined.

Cultural-familial declination is a mental illness resulting from environmental causes, typically psychosocial disadvantages like lack of parental care, poor conditions, lack of food, etc.
