Neglected children are often ignored or rejected by their peers, leading to social isolation and loneliness. This can potentially lead to mental health problems such as depression or anxiety. Hyperactivity, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are not necessarily linked to peer neglect.
