“…In two of these studies 19,20 , early exposure to interpersonal trauma, such as witnessing trauma, physical attacks, and sexual molestation, conferred the largest harm relative to other traumas. However, prospective studies have also found exposure to maltreatment during adolescence (between 10–12 24 or 12–17 25 ) was more strongly associated with adolescent depressive symptoms than earlier maltreatment. A recent retrospective study also found emotional abuse specifically at age 14 was most predictive of depression during young adulthood 26 .…”

“…In psychiatry, resilience refers to "a dynamic process wherein individuals display positive adaptation despite experiences of significant adversity or trauma" . In the general population, it is well established that negative childhood experiences such as parental discord and/or lack of parental affection can have a negative impact on adolescent PSF (Egeland, 2009;Trocmé et al 2011;van Harmelen, 2013;Harpur et al 2015;Stoltenborgh et al 2015). Adolescent resilient PSF may therefore be seen as reflecting positive adaptation compared to others with similar experiences in the family environment.…”

Background: Adolescence is a key time period for the emergence of psychosocial and mental healthdifficulties. To promote adolescent adaptive (‘resilient’) psychosocial functioning, appropriate conceptualizationand quantification of such functioning and its predictors is a crucial first step. Here,we quantify resilient functioning as the degree to which an individual functions better or worse thanexpected given their self-reported childhood family experiences, and relate this to adolescent familyand friendship support.Method: We used Principal Component and regression analyses to investigate the relationship betweenchildhood family experiences and psychosocial functioning (PSF: psychiatric symptomatology,personality traits and mental wellbeing) in healthy adolescents (the Neuroscience in Psychiatry Network;N=2389; ages 14-24). Residuals from the relation between childhood family experiences andPSF reflect resilient functioning; the degree to which an individual is functioning better, or worse,than expected given their childhood family experiences. Next, we relate family and friendship supportwith resilient functioning both cross-sectionally and one year later.Results: Friendship and family support were positive predictors of immediate resilient psychosocialfunctioning, with friendship support being the strongest predictor. However, whereas friendshipsupport was a significant positive predictor of later resilient functioning, family support had a negativerelationship with later resilient psychosocial functioning.Conclusions: We show that friendship support, but not family support, is an important positive predictorof both immediate and later resilient psychosocial functioning in adolescence and early adulthood.Interventions that promote the skills needed to acquire and sustain adolescent friendshipsmay be crucial in increasing adolescent resilient psychosocial functioning.

“…With regard to timing of exposure, the evidence is mixed. Some studies report that maltreatment during the early childhood years (age 0–5) has the strongest influence on downstream psychological well-being [63], whereas other studies find that, depending on the exact outcome, later exposure may lead to similarly deleterious consequences [64], or that maltreatment chronicity, rather than timing of exposure, is the most important moderator of outcomes [65, 66]. …”

BackgroundChild maltreatment is a common problem with known adverse consequences, yet its contributions to the development and course of pediatric asthma are only poorly understood.MainThis review first describes possible pathways connecting child maltreatment to pediatric asthma, including aspects of the physical home environment, health behaviors and disease management, and psychological consequences of child maltreatment. We subsequently review existing studies, which generally report an association between maltreatment experiences and asthma outcomes in childhood. However, this literature is in its early stages; there are only a handful studies, most of them rely on self-reports of both child maltreatment and asthma history, and none have investigated the physiological underpinnings of this association. Taken together, however, the studies are suggestive of child maltreatment playing a role in pediatric asthma incidence and expression that should be explored further.ConclusionExisting data are sparse and do not allow for specific conclusions. However, the data are suggestive of child maltreatment influencing asthma risk and morbidity long before the adult years. Future research should focus on understanding how child maltreatment contributes to asthma disease risk and progression in this highly vulnerable population.
