Childhood is a formative period in life where our personalities and worldviews are shaped. Unfortunately, many of us experience traumatic events during this sensitive stage that usually has a lasting impact on our mental health and well-being.
A study published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry found that children who experience trauma are more likely to develop mental health problems such as depression and anxiety well into their adulthood. The study also highlighted the importance of early intervention and support in helping individuals overcome the effects of trauma.
