I know I have had neglect, and I am sure it had a huge impact on a lot of things.
I remember being embarrassed because I didn't have any clothes to wear that were clean, and I only had one pair of socks. No dental care until I was doing it myself at 21. I was never taken to the doctor because of the signs of physical abuse, so I would have to suffer severe what we know now as asthma coughing fits that would sprain my breast muscles.
The house was always dirty, the bathroom disgusting. And the house always had some "improvement" going on or you could say my mom got bored and would decide to take down a wall or something.
There was more to this, I know I didn't have the proper nutrition, or clothing, and my shelter was hell on earth. They say these things are the basic needs for a child, so yeah, neglect is very harmful.
