People living with cerebral palsy face a higher risk of developing depression and anxiety than their peers without the condition, according to a new study.
Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects muscle control and movement and is usually caused by an injury to the brain before, during or after birth.
Relatively little is known about the mental health of adults with cerebral palsy as it is often considered to affect only children, despite many living with the condition into adulthood.
