The relationship between adverse childhood experiences and mental health in adulthood. A systematic literature review - abstract

Chris Engel 4/21/135:18 PM

Summary
Background: Traumatic childhood experiences are important societal problems and have far-reaching mental and somatic consequences. There is a considerable amount of literature concerning the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (aces) and anxiety, depression and substance abuse in adulthood.

Aim: To integrate systematically all available research data on this relationship....

Conclusion: Strong correlations were shown to exist between various aces and later symptoms or diagnoses of depressive and anxiety disorders in persons abusing drugs or alcohol. It seems to be mainly child abuse and family violence which have a major impact on the future mental health of victims.
