This research paper aims to explore the various forms of childhood trau-ma, such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, and their long-term effects on adult mental health. It reviews existing literature to examine the mechanisms through which child-hood trauma impacts mental health outcomes, including the development of mental disorders, increased vulnerability to stress, altered brain development, and disrupted interpersonal rela-tionships. Additionally, this paper highlights the importance of early intervention and trauma-informed care to mitigate the negative impact of childhood trauma on adult mental health.Metrics
