Psychosocial short stature (PSS) refers to a condition in children characterized by growth failure that can be attributed to emotional, social, or familial issues rather than a physical or medical cause. It is often seen in environments where children experience severe emotional distress or neglect, such as in cases of abuse, extreme poverty, or chaotic family environments.
