...Researchers concluded that early stress from childhood abuse makes the brain less resilient to the effects of later stress.

These studies...also explain how that abuse changes the chemistry of the brain. Formerly the chemical imbalance had been attributed to genetics. The present studies clearly show the connection between environmental stress, the changes in the brain and depression. [Emphases mine - Rohag]
