Article posted that's interesting about the possibility for parents to pass trauma to their children. Your thoughts on it?

This is interesting. I have suspected that my cptsd somehow influenced my daughter's development of mental illness. Primarily her ability to handle stress. There's more to it than that. There is an extensive history of mdd, bipolar, ocd, sad, gad and schizophrenia in my husband's family. Mine? Cptsd.

It is interesting and there may be something to it. I hope they look into it more.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
