The article explores the long-standing and often understated effects of trauma experienced during childhood. It delves into the why these traumas carry severe implications into adulthood. Through numerous case studies and expert insights, the societal and psychological aspects are examined deeply, highlighting the need for further attention and resources in Japan's social and healthcare systems.

In Japan, mental health is a topic that's not often discussed openly but it certainly resonates with society. Childhood trauma, in particular, is seen as a significant issue as the society is collectively recognizing the significant long-term effects it can have on a person's lifecycle. There is a rising awareness and understanding of the need for early preventative measures and interventions.

Unlike in Western countries like the US or EU, where mental health discussions are gradually becoming more mainstream and accessible with initiatives in place for early diagnosis and intervention, Japan is still in the process of eliminating stigma around the topic. However, similar to US/EU, there are governmental and non-profit organizations working to raise awareness and provide support.
