Abstract
En 中文
Childhood maltreatment, particularly emotional abuse and neglect, casts a long shadow over mental health, as highlighted by a recent study linking these experiences to subthreshold depressive symptoms and major depressive disorder in young and middle-aged adults. The findings underscore emotional abuse and neglect as particularly potent risk factors, emphasizing the urgent need for trauma-informed approaches in depression prevention and management. This article explores the implications of these results, advocating for early identification of childhood maltreatment to mitigate long-term depressive outcomes and calling for integrated strategies across clinical, public health, and policy domains.
