HealthDay (3/28) reports, “The risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among children and teens is higher if they think their response to a traumatic event is abnormal,” researchers concluded in a study that “included more than 200 children, aged eight to 17, treated at a hospital emergency department after traumatic incidents, such as car crashes, assaults and dog attacks.” The findings were published online March 25 in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry.
