The impact of a pandemic as an example of a stressful event, on anxiety and related emotional disorders of NF1 patients compared to healthy children
This study highlights the distinct psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on typically developing children and those with NF1. While further research is needed to clarify the long-term effects, the findings emphasize the necessity of early screening and targeted interventions to mitigate emotional distress in children with NF1 during times of crisis.
