When are children at risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?

Children or adolescents who have experienced a very stressful event could be at risk for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The stressful event is one in which someone’s life has been threatened or a serious injury has occurred. In the last few years more and more kids are experiencing such traumatic events, such as experiencing or witnessing a serious accident, natural disasters -- like a fire, flood, tornado, hurricane -- domestic abuse, gang-related violence in the community, a shooting or violent attack, sexual or physical assault, terrorism, or being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

New research shows that the death of a parent can also trigger the disorder.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
