    Child Psychological Maltreatment (CPM) is a major cause to emerging PTSD symptoms in

    adulthood.
    The trauma that people endure has a very high risk of manifesting as a cause of possible PTSD
    symptoms in emerging adolescence and adulthood. It stems from Childhood Maltreatment and
    possesses a high risk in PTSD diagnosis later on.
    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder affects almost 80 percent of people who suffer from
    acute stress. The symptoms may occur at any time after the event. (Jenni,2024)
    Symptoms can be developed due to Biological factors, personal styles, social support systems
    and severity and nature of the traumas. Most of the Child Maltreatment (including physical,
    emotional and psychological) cases are led due to the severity and the nature of their trauma’s
    which range from childhood exposure to five categories of maltreatment, including physical
    abuse and neglect, emotional abuse and neglect, and sexual abuse. (Watts et al, 2023)
    When the Childhood sexual abuse, PTSD symptoms were measured using the Childhood
    Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), 10-item Trauma Screening Questionnaire (TSQ-
    10). This study showed the common symptoms arising from this are hypervigilance, sleep
    disturbance, nightmare, intrusive thoughts. These were the bridging PTSD symptoms found from
    the study. In The people exposed to CPM, SOS or sense of self was a significant predictor of
    PTSD symptoms, explaining 34.1% of the variance in the outcome. (Watts et al, 2023)
    According to recent research, childhood psychological maltreatment (CPM) is particularly linked
    to more severe PTSD symptomology in both adolescence and emerging adulthood. CM in
    general has been shown to be a significant risk factor for lifetime and current PTSD in
    adulthood, affecting 30%–38% of those exposed. (Watts et al, 2023)
    Whereas, when The survey was conducted for cannabis use, young adults in the United States
    have an estimated 11% prevalence rate It is not uncommon for individuals who have experienced
    past traumatic events to use substances, such as cannabis, to ameliorate symptoms of PTSD. In
    fact, PTSD symptoms often co-occur with substance use and substance use disorders, with a
    recent meta-analysis reporting high rates of cannabis use disorder among individuals with PTSD
    and vice versa.(Davis et al, 2023)
    Hence, Child Psychological Maltreatment or CPM can be rightfully said to be the leading cause
    of PTSD symptoms in childhood to adulthood. Since it is either by it self or as an underlying
    cause with drug abuse or other causes related to causing symptoms of PTSD.
