Abstract

The chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the link between traumatic events, adolescence, and post-traumatic stress disorder among them. It provides an introduction to traumatic life events, why adolescence is a high-risk period for trauma, multidimensional trauma impacts, the factors determining trauma impacts, and key signs of trauma in adolescents. Further, the chapter discusses how traumatic incidents affect the biology of the adolescents, key theories that explain the link between trauma and post-traumatic stress development, and finally covers specific risk and protective factors in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It talks about diagnosis, assessment, and treatment for PTSD.
