EXPLORING THE EFFECTS OF CHILDHOOD TRAUMA ON MENTAL HEALTH IN ADULTHOOD

Аннотация

This paper investigates the long-term impacts of childhood trauma on adult mental health. It reviews existing literature on trauma and mental health, outlines the research methodology, and presents key findings on how early traumatic experiences affect psychological well-being in adulthood. The study aims to provide insights for mental health professionals and policymakers to develop effective interventions and support systems for individuals affected by childhood trauma. Through a mixed-methods approach, the research explores the prevalence of mental health disorders among adults with a history of childhood trauma and examines the underlying mechanisms linking early adverse experiences to later mental health outcomes. The findings emphasize the need for trauma-informed care and targeted support strategies to mitigate the enduring effects of childhood trauma on adult mental health.
