Healio (12/18, Jenkins ) reports, “Children and young adults who underwent surgical removal of tonsils or adenoids had a higher risk for stress-related disorders later in life vs. those who did not undergo either procedure, according to a study.” The investigators “noted that these associations were independent of sex, age at surgery, time since surgery, parental educational attainment or parental history of stress-related disorders.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
