of psychological stress that changes behavior, cognitions, emotions, and physical functions in ways that promote subsequent health
problems and illness.22
Among the hypothesized pathways, adverse childhood experiences lead to depression and posttraumatic stress disorder, which in turn can lead to substance abuse, sleep disorders, inactivity, immunosuppression, inflammatory responses, and inconsistent health care use, possibly leading to other medical conditions later in life.23, 24 Therefore, childhood behavioral and
emotional symptoms very likely represent a crucial mediator linking adverse childhood experiences and the longer term health - related
problems found in the ACE substudies.
