No particularly negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the mental health of individuals with higher levels of childhood trauma
The findings of this study do not support the hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately exacerbated mental health problems in individuals with a history of moderate to severe childhood trauma. Instead, our results suggest that the pandemic's impact on mental health was more pronounced in students with no or only mild childhood trauma.
