Psychological trauma in adultswho are older (usually more than 60 years),[1] is the overall prevalence and occurrence of trauma symptoms within the older adult population. (The term psychological trauma is sometimes hereinafter referred to as trauma). This should not be confused with geriatric trauma. Although there is a 90% likelihood of an older adult experiencing a traumatic event,[2] there is a lack of research on trauma in older adult populations. This makes research trends on the complex interaction between traumatic symptom presentation and considerations specifically related to the older adult population (e.g., the aging process, a lifetime prevalence of traumatic symptoms [otherwise known as lifetime trauma], etc.) difficult to pinpoint.[2][3][4][5][6][7] This article reviews the existing literature and briefly introduces various ways, apart from the occurrence of elder abuse, that psychological trauma impacts the older adult population.
