Any drug treatment must be examined separately for each age group. Physiological transitional situations such as the lowered hemoglobin value of the neonate or the knock knee and pes valgus of the infant must not be regarded as pathological, any more than nocturnal enuresis beyond the 4th year of life means emotional disturbance.
