有必要更好地了解语言发展和精神病症状之间的流行病学关系。语言发展尤其容易受到社会因素的影响，从聋哑儿童的发展选择中可以看出，这可能会造成语言剥夺。严重语言剥夺的聋哑患者可能存在心理健康综合症。我们对电子数据库进行了搜索，以找到关注聋哑人群语言发展和心理健康的出版物。对相关出版物的筛选将搜索结果缩小到 35 种出版物。尽管经验证据非常有限，但治疗聋哑患者的临床医生似乎提出了心理健康综合症的建议。可能的特征包括语言不流利、知识匮乏以及思维、情绪和/或行为中断。聋人心理健康的临床专业似乎正在与临床观察到的现象作斗争，该现象尚未在 DSM 中进行实证研究和定义。临床环境中患者的描述表明存在语言剥夺综合症。语言发展经历与聋哑人的精神病结果具有流行病学关系。这需要更多的实证关注，并且对其他存在行为健康差异的人群也有影响。
There is a need to better understand the epidemiological relationship between language development and psychiatric symptomatology. Language development can be particularly impacted by social factors-as seen in the developmental choices made for deaf children, which can create language deprivation. A possible mental health syndrome may be present in deaf patients with severe language deprivation.Electronic databases were searched to identify publications focusing on language development and mental health in the deaf population. Screening of relevant publications narrowed the search results to 35 publications.Although there is very limited empirical evidence, there appears to be suggestions of a mental health syndrome by clinicians working with deaf patients. Possible features include language dysfluency, fund of knowledge deficits, and disruptions in thinking, mood, and/or behavior.The clinical specialty of deaf mental health appears to be struggling with a clinically observed phenomenon that has yet to be empirically investigated and defined within the DSM. Descriptions of patients within the clinical setting suggest a language deprivation syndrome. Language development experiences have an epidemiological relationship with psychiatric outcomes in deaf people. This requires more empirical attention and has implications for other populations with behavioral health disparities as well.
