Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
The Prevention Researcher,
Volume 10, Number 2, 2003
Youth are often exposed to trauma. At times, this trauma is well known (such as a car accident), at other times it is unseen (such as domestic violence). The impact of these traumas can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder and have an effect on an adolescent's functioning in society as well as in school.
