Article Synopsis
- The study compares adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) between adults in the U.S. and Ireland, finding that Irish participants report more ACEs and higher rates of mental health issues like depression and PTSD.
- Emotional neglect was identified as the ACE most linked to poor mental health, with a strong correlation between the number of ACEs and the severity of complex PTSD.
- The findings suggest that reducing ACE exposure in Ireland could improve mental health outcomes, underscoring the importance of public policy in addressing these experiences.
This study sought to determine the public's attitudes towards mental health services during the COVID-19 pandemic and examine the sociodemographic and psychological factors associated with these attitudes to gain an understanding of the best course of action to increase favourable attitudes.
