Stress contributes to many many things. Last year I had so much stress that I went into a state that very much resembled manic state of Bipolar. Yet my t says that it is very unlikely, she says extreme stress causes symptoms of various mental illnesses as well as horrible physical symptoms I developed severe insomnia). Stress is the cause of much misery

And I agree about childhood extreme stress in childhood causes much damage.

I personally still cannot hear loud dishes banging when people do dishes I go into hysteria ( my father was abuosive to my mother and when I was about 6 I was in my bed and my dad was screaming and banging something on the kitchen and then I heard loud bang and silence and I was convinced my father killed my mother)

mind you not only he didn't kill her they are still alive and well and still married to each other (I am 49) and my mom is convinced that most of the abuse is all in my and my brothers heads (it is real). But anyways it was over 40 years ago and I still cannot stand sound of dishes banging
