"The Lasting Impact of Childhood Adversity on Adult Mental Health"
A study using data from over 25,000 twins in the Swedish Twin Registry reveals a dose-response relationship between childhood adversity and later mental health problems, with genetic and environmental factors within families playing a significant role. The research underscores the importance of family-wide health interventions to mitigate the long-term mental health risks associated with childhood adversities, highlighting the need to address risk factors within the whole family, not just the affected child or children.
