Conclusion: Previous studies indicate an inverse-parabolic relationship between traumatic stress and PTGI score. Our study provides consistent results. As long as the stressors continue to exist, like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, individual’s traumatic stress levels increase, and psychiatric disorders become more common. Additionally, positive changes like post-traumatic growth decrease in this context. No conflict of interest doi: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2021.10.861
