Does Trauma Affect Young Adults Differently?

Most 25-year-olds consider themselves to be mature and developed adults. While this may be the case, it’s also true that the human brain is often not yet fully developed at this age. 

Naturally, this makes it difficult for some to deal with the major life changes of young adulthood. And that’s not to mention any additional mental health or environmental challenges that can affect people in this age group. This may, at least partially, explain why more than ⅓ of people between the ages of 18 and 25 experience mental illness.

Needless to say, mental health care for young adults is an important issue. It’s vital for people in this age group, as well as their loved ones, to understand how trauma and other psychological concerns may affect them differently.
