Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders: Impact, Risk Factors, and Treatment Options

Dear Colleagues,

Trauma- and stressor-related disorders are serious psychological reactions that develop in some individuals following exposure to traumatic or stressful events. The importance of these disorders has increased as their consequences in term of public health have been exacerbated by the outbreak of COVID-19, which changed the worldwide scenario, posing a research challenge for this topic.

 It has now become an urgent priority to understand the protective and risk factors, the neurobiological markers involved, as well as the diagnostic characteristics and clinical implications of these disorders. 

This Special Issue aims to help to develop a deeper understanding of and summarize recent evidence on this topic worldwide, especially regarding which populations and variables are considered to be the most important to investigate, what methodological advances have been achieved, and what the clinical outcomes are in order to determine a precise pathway toward prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of these diseases.
