The Biological Effects of Childhood Trauma

Trauma that is experienced in childhood has serious consequences for both victims and society, as it concerns psychosocial, medical, and public policy problems. The most common violence in children is chronic interpersonal. Even with how prevalent childhood trauma is, there is a lack of research on the biological effects in children compared to adults who have a history of child trauma. There is also a lack of research on pediatric mechanisms and how they are the foundation for short and long-term medical and mental health consequences. This article places emphasis on different literature surrounding the neurobiological results of childhood trauma in children and adults.
