Childhood Trauma Leads To Depression
Anxiety Insights has a post up about childhood trauma and its relation to depression. Childhood trauma, but not adult trauma, is strongly associated with depression and coronary heart disease in adulthood, say Emory University researchers and colleagues presenting at the American Psychosomatic Society Annual Meeting, being held March 7-10 in Budapest, Hungary.Child abuse is one of the most pressing problems we have in the world brcause it leads to all kinds of maladaptive behavior and can also lead to illegal drug use as a form of self medication. According to the study results, twins in the highest quartile of the Early Trauma Inventory were twice as likely to have major depressive disorder than other twins. Of the childhood traumas, emotional trauma was the most strongly associated with major depressive disorder.Tobacco is an anti-depressant. So is cannabis. We are wasting untold billions every year fighting drugs when we should be dealing with the root cause - child abuse.
