Abstract
Childhood is an important period for personality formation, cognition and social development. Childhood physical and mental trauma is the key reason for the development of many serious diseases. Severe traumatic events can cause Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Children’s psychological adjustment and tolerance are generally lower than adults, and it is difficult for children to seek reasonable help after suffering traumatic events. Children who experience a traumatic event have an even higher rate of PTSD than adults, considering problems with their symptom presentation. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can hinder children’s development of healthy psychology such as independence and autonomy in the future, and can lead to a series of psychological disorders in adulthood. This article introduces the epidemiology, symptoms, physiological changes and influencing factors of PTSD in children, and puts forward the direction of treatment in the future.
Highlights
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a typical psychological stress disease
Subsequent investigations found that burn area, pain degree and parents’ acute stress state after traumatic events were closely related to the incidence of PTSD and severity of symptoms [23]. These results strongly suggest that burn plays an important role in the development of PTSD in children, and that early physical and psychological intervention is an effective means to prevent PTSD and improve the prognosis of burn children
Research shows that children PTSD bad personality traits associated with larger, and the evolution of this kind of personality traits are closely associated with unsafe attachment mode [26] [27], the healthy growth of the adults, especially parents of children’s personality have inescapable responsibility, good family and peer relations are the important condition of children’s personality development, in the absence of a good relationship, Trauma and PTSD related symptoms suffered by children will have an irreversible negative impact on their personality formation, and there are gender and age differences in the incidence of PTSD, and the conclusion that the neuroendocrine response caused by trauma leads to higher susceptibility of women than men in children has been confirmed [28]
Summary
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a typical psychological stress disease. PTSD refers to the severe anxiety disorder that occurs after the trauma such as earthquake, fire and domestic violence. Its high incidence and long course seriously affect the prognosis of the trauma, triggering a series of physical, psychological and behavioral stress responses. Data [1] show that the treatment of post-traumatic PTSD in children becomes more difficult once the symptoms are not timely diagnosed and treated. This article reviews the epidemiology, symptoms, physiological changes and the treatment of PTSD in children
