摘要

Children from all walks of life are subjected to traumatic experiences.Having one traumatic experience,while unfortunate,generally does not have much impact on the child’s future,as one might expect.This review examines the long-term psychoneuroendocrinologocal implications of repeated or prolonged exposure to traumatic events during childhood,particularly during the formative years which include chronic illnesses,terminal illnesses,psychological disorders,neurological disorders,and more which has resulted in an average reduced life expectancy of 20-years.Proposed modifications for screening tools,prevention,and interventions are explained and introduced.In conclusion,this review proposes a modified and universal approach to screening,prevention,and treatment for those at high risk and those already afflicted by childhood trauma based on the latest in evidence-based research.
