Virtual Event – Born This Way? The Role Of Early Life Stress In Adult Mental Illness
This presentation will focus on early life events that can continue to influence the adolescent and adult mind. Goals of this discussion will include recognizing early life adversity as a risk factor for the development of psychiatric illness across diagnostic boundaries, characterize biological and neurobiological mechanisms that implicate childhood trauma and stress in adult mental illness, and focus on the importance of assessing early life events in the clinical setting.
