Direct trauma refers to physical injury or damage that occurs as a direct result of an external force impacting the body. This can include injuries such as fractures, lacerations, and contusions resulting from accidents, falls, or assaults. Unlike indirect trauma, which may result from internal stress or conditions, direct trauma is characterized by its immediate and observable effects on the affected area. Treatment typically focuses on addressing the specific injuries sustained.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is primarily developed in response to severe trauma experienced during early childhood, particularly before the age of five. While a fetus cannot experience trauma in the same way as a postnatal child, maternal stress and trauma during pregnancy can impact fetal development. However, the direct induction of DID in a fetus is not supported by current psychological understanding; DID requires conscious processing and coping mechanisms that develop after birth.
What causes trauma
A trauma-related complication refers to an adverse health condition that arises as a direct consequence of an injury or trauma. These complications can include infections, blood clots, or psychological issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They may develop immediately after the injury or manifest later, complicating recovery and overall health outcomes. Proper medical management and monitoring are essential to mitigate these risks.
