Experiencing grief after the loss of a loved one or trauma after a distressing event, such as physical or sexual assault, a serious accident or natural disaster, can cause emotional, behavioural, and physical reactions, affecting individuals’ mental health and social relationships. This can also lead to the development of several clinical conditions such as depression, anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and addictions among others. Building resilience, developing coping strategies, and seeking professional support, when necessary, are key to recovery. This Collection welcomes original research articles from Psychology, Psychiatry, and Neuroscience, investigating grief and trauma and their consequences following distressing events.
