Conclusion
Clinicians routinely inquire about exposure to abuse when they evaluate children and adolescents. These recent studies provide compelling data about the adverse effects of childhood trauma on adult outcomes—including higher rates of depression and suicidality, lower response rates to antidepressants, and higher risk of depressive symptoms in offspring compared with adults who had no childhood trauma. Adults, as well as children and adolescents, should be screened for a history of childhood abuse in order to provide appropriate interventions.

Recent studies affirm again what has long been implicated. There is more concern when the study of fetal origins is considered.

Quote:

“The history of man for the nine months preceding his birth would, probably, be far more interesting and contain events of greater moment than all the three score and ten years that follow it.”
– – Samuel Taylor Coleridge

We have no choice in our genetics or upbringing. We are left to deal with what we are, a momentous task for so many.

I understand I will not get better without help. The botheration is the challenge I present and the lack of significant progress.
