A Trauma is any injury, whether physically or emotionally inflicted. "Trauma" has both a medical and a psychiatric definition. Medically, "trauma" refers to a serious or critical bodily injury, wound, or shock. This definition is often associated with trauma medicine practiced in emergency rooms and represents a popular view of the term. In psychiatry, "trauma" has assumed a different meaning and refers to an experience that is emotionally painful, distressful, or shocking, which often results in lasting mental and physical effects. Traumatology is the branch of surgery which deals with trauma patients and their injuries. "Trauma" is the Greek word for "a wound" (and for "damage or defeat").
Trauma in the psychology context refers to an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope, causes feelings of helplessness, diminishes their sense of self, and their ability to feel the full range of emotions and experiences. Trauma can stem from a single event, or it can be a response to repeated and prolonged adverse situations, often referred to as complex trauma.
