Understanding these effects could help researchers design interventions that help divorcees get back on their feet and avoid long-term repercussions. The findings of the study are published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
Researchers have been examining the physical and mental and effects of divorce but may have missed an opportunity to characterize these effects, until now accurately.
