Divorce is increasingly understood as a traumatic event that profoundly affects children's and adults' neurological and emotional health. Neuroscience indicates that stressful divorce conditions, especially high conflict environments, can lead to 'toxic stress,' damaging the brain's development and impairing crucial functions like emotional regulation. Studies have shown that children exposed to such stress may experience anxiety and behavioral issues later in life. Teenagers are particularly affected as their brains, still maturing in areas related to identity and relationships, may show heightened vulnerability to emotional disturbances and social stress during parental divorce.
Divorce can reshape the brain, particularly in children and teens, leading to trauma that affects emotional regulation and mental health for years to come.
Neuroscience shows that divorce can result in toxic stress for children, impairing their emotional development and leading to long-term psychological challenges.
