HCPlive (5/2, Iopoce) reported researchers have “examined whether personality disorders and personality changes can happen in the short-term and are detectable during early adolescence, or if they develop later in life.” For the study, “investigators analyzed data collected from” 763 “adolescent inpatients in suburban New York, who completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire.” The study revealed that “adult behavioral profiles linked to childhood emotional abuse are also present proximal to the trauma, rather than only occurring later in life.” The findings were presented at the American Psychiatric Association virtual annual meeting.
