Childhood Trauma Effects on the Development of Personality and Mental Health
Keywords:
Trauma; personality; mental health; effects; typesAbstract
Childhood traumas are represented by events influencing a person's life affecting
personality development and mental health. These traumas can be of several kinds, interpersonal and
events that happen outside on a wider scale. The effects of traumatic events are observed on physical
health, founding of relations, but also on mental health through the possibility of developing mental
disorders. Young children pose an increased risk for traumatic events due to their dependence on
parents or careers. But not all traumatic events affect more people, sometimes they come back to
normal life. But those who are severely affected by traumatic events may develop mental disorders
such as post-traumatic stress or schizophrenia.
