Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that individuals who have experienced both childhood physical and sexual abuse are at a higher risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than those who have experienced only one or none of these types of abuse. While childhood sexual abuse is often associated with a higher risk of PTSD than childhood physical abuse alone, the combination of both types of abuse appears to have the most significant effect on the likelihood of developing PTSD. There is no research indicating a link between having parents who were alcoholic and an increased risk of PTSD.
