Children begin down this route when they have trouble processing their trauma and perceive their symptoms as being a sign that something is seriously wrong. While most children recover well after a traumatic event, some go on to develop PTSD that may stay with them for months, years, or even into adulthood. Researchers worked with over 200 children aged between eight and 17 who had attended a hospital emergency department following a one-off traumatic incident.
