Klinefelter syndrome is a chromosomal condition in boys and men that can affect physical and intellectual development. Most commonly, affected individuals are taller than average are unable to father biological children (infertile); however the signs and symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome vary among boys and men with this condition. In some cases, the features of the condition are so mild that the condition is not diagnosed until puberty or adulthood, and researchers believe that up to 75 percent of affected men and boys are never diagnosed.

Approximately 18 million people are affected by depression, hence it can be considered as a significantly prevalent health disorder with noteworthy psychosocial impact. Pregnancy and postpartum duration are known for striking hormonal variations occurring in the body. Dysregulation in these endocrine axes (HPA) have a probable link to mood disorders. Approximately 10–15% of women are affected by depression at this juncture, impairing mother– infant interactions. Maternal attachment, sensitivity and parenting style are essential for a healthy maturation of an infant's cognitive and behavioral skills. A child on exposure to depressive symptoms has impaired social sense or security, reduced logical reasoning and is a high risk factor for future depression. It is imperative to uncover the mechanisms through which maternal depression contributes to numerous problems in children. Innumerous etiological issues play a role which is definitely modifiable. Efforts should be focused on isolating those factors which are causal in nature and diminish the outcome of this event. It is a growing concern for health practitioners and community worldwide as there is a massive impact on the children. Generally, a barrier to seek professional help in these situations is inability of the victim to reveal their symptoms for fear of ridicule often reinforced by society. Thus, observing the patients who come under the radar of depression and treating them appropriately at the precise time allow them to march toward a healthy life.

Prader-Willi syndrome is a complex genetic condition that affects many parts of the body. In infancy, this condition is characterized by weak muscle tone (hypotonia), feeding difficulties, poor growth, and delayed development. Beginning in childhood, affected individuals develop an insatiable appetite, which leads to chronic overeating (hyperphagia) and obesity. Some people with Prader-Willi syndrome, particularly those with obesity, also develop type 2 diabetes (the most common form of diabetes).

There is no known amount of alcohol that is safe to drink during pregnancy or when trying to get pregnant. All drinks that contain alcohol, including wine and beer, can harm an unborn baby. There is no safe time to drink alcohol during pregnancy. Alcohol can harm a baby at any time during pregnancy. So, to prevent FASDs, a woman should not drink alcohol while she is pregnant, or even when she might get pregnant. This is because a woman could get pregnant and not know it for up to 4 to 6 weeks. In the United States, nearly half of all pregnancies are unplanned.
