Summary

This study looks at how living with congenital heart disease from birth may increase the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Researchers will survey 1,000 adults and interview some to find out which experiences—like past surgeries or bullying—are linked to PTSD. They also want to learn how resilience can protect against PTSD. The goal is to improve screening and support for this group.
