Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in later life poses a substantial burden on public health and social care systems.
However, research in this population remains scarce. In this Personal View, we review the current state of research on PTSD and ageing, as presented by the On Traumatic Stress and Ageing: A Global Network task force, part of the
Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress. Evidence-based knowledge on PTSD in older (aged 60 years or older) trauma survivors was synthesised across four clinical domains: ageing mechanisms, assessment, treatment, and care.

Spirituality has been shown to support well-being and resilience. Numerous studies found that those who integrate spirituality into their lives tend to exhibit higher self-esteem and self-efficacy, along with experiencing positive emotions such as hope and forgiveness. Additionally, spirituality has been shown to improve pain tolerance, reduce anxiety, and foster more positive moods, enhancing resilience against both physical and psychological distress. These findings underline the importance of supporting the spiritual needs of grieving or suffering individuals.
