People exposed to a higher number of traumatic life events than others typically

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People who have experienced a higher number of traumatic life events may have a greater likelihood of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other mental health conditions, and may also have more difficulty coping with future traumas. This can be due to a range of factors, including increased sensitivity to stress, disruptions to brain function caused by previous traumas, and a sense of lowered self-efficacy or control over one's circumstances. However, it is not necessarily true that people who experience more traumas have a genetic predisposition to them, nor is it guaranteed that they will develop worse coping skills or particularly strong communication skills.
