Trauma-related Disorders

Trauma-related disorders in children and adolescents occur when they experience or witness distressing events, such as accidents, abuse, or natural disasters. These experiences can lead to symptoms like nightmares, anxiety, anger, and trouble concentrating. Conditions like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) highlight that the child may relive the trauma, avoid reminders, or feel overly alert. Treatment often involves therapy to help them process their experiences and develop coping strategies, aiming to restore their sense of safety and emotional balance. Early intervention is crucial for better recovery outcomes.
