What is the relationship between childhood trauma and depression? How can the effects of childhood trauma<\/a> be reversed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Childhood trauma and depression are interrelated because trauma can create a deep emotional wound that has a lasting impact on the life of the victim. Trauma can lead to a deep sense of guilt that triggers depression. It can be confronted by acknowledging your emotional scars<\/a>, and recognizing that you never deserved what happened to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to learn more about how childhood trauma and depression are interrelated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Disconnection From Past Trauma<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It may seem counterintuitive that being dis<\/em>connected from past trauma could cause depression: If you\u2019re not<\/em> thinking about the terrible things that happened to you, shouldn\u2019t you be happy? However, trauma affects us in powerful ways, many of which operate subconsciously\u2014in other words, just because you\u2019re not thinking or talking about the trauma doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not still impacting your life and contributing to depression, even decades later. Childhood trauma is one of the most reliable predictors of adult depression, and fully processing that trauma by facing it head-on is a powerful way to begin healing depression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists still don’t fully understand the relationship between childhood trauma and depression, but Hari has his own theory based on the fact that people who experienced trauma as a child often irrationally blame themselves for what happened. He argues that this impulse starts out as a coping mechanism\u2014when kids experience trauma, blaming themselves is a way of taking back control.<\/strong> In the short term, that sense of control<\/a> is a relief\u2014especially when the alternative is feeling totally powerless in a big, scary world\u2014but in the long run, the false idea that the trauma was their fault and that they deserved what happened creates a deep emotional wound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study Demonstrates the Relationship Between Childhood Trauma and Depression<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A study that demonstrates the link between childhood trauma and depression is the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study, a landmark piece of research on the connection between childhood trauma and adult outcomes (like depression, obesity, cancer, and missed work days). The original study surveyed seventeen thousand people on their experience with 10 categories of childhood trauma: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Emotional abuse<\/li>
  • Sexual abuse<\/li>
  • Physical abuse<\/li>
  • Emotional neglect<\/li>
  • Physical neglect<\/li>
  • Mental illness<\/li>
  • Substance abuse<\/li>
  • Divorce <\/li>
  • Domestic violence<\/li>
  • Having an incarcerated family member <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The ACE Study has been replicated all over the world, and the results are always the same: There is a strong positive correlation between adverse childhood trauma and depression in adulthood. <\/strong>In other words, people who had experienced ACEs were more likely to suffer from all kinds of physical, mental, and behavioral problems than people who had no ACEs. For depression and suicidality outcomes specifically, the data from the ACE study is shocking: people with seven ACEs are 3,100% more likely to attempt suicide than people with no ACEs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Moreover, the relationship between ACEs and health problems shows a dose-response effect\u2014the more ACEs someone had, the more likely they were to experience negative health outcomes as an adult. <\/strong>For example, a person with five categories of ACEs is more likely to experience depression as an adult than someone with two categories of ACEs, just like someone who smokes two packs of cigarettes a day is more likely to develop lung cancer than someone who only smokes occasionally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The dose-response relationship implies that ACEs are at least partly causing<\/em> these outcomes. In other words, experiencing ACEs <\/strong>causes <\/em><\/strong>depression; and the more ACEs you experience, the higher your risk of being depressed as an adult. <\/strong>Think of it this way: If one sleeping pill makes you feel drowsy, but two sleeping pills knock you out for hours, that\u2019s a good sign that the pills actually work the way they\u2019re supposed to. If they were a placebo, there might be a small difference in the effects of taking one pill versus two, but not nearly to the same degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rewriting the Trauma Story<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Knowledge of the relationship between childhood trauma and depression is an especially difficult one for people who have believed the serotonin story their whole lives. It\u2019s much easier to say, \u201cI have a chemical imbalance in my brain that I treat with medication\u201d than it is to say, \u201cTerrible things happened to me as a child, and I\u2019m really struggling because of them.\u201d Moreover, in the serotonin story, there is always the gleaming hope that the right combination of medications will take the pain away entirely\u2014and abandoning that story means abandoning the hope that there is a simple, painless solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Facing childhood trauma takes immense courage. It requires not only acknowledging what happened, but rewriting the story to reflect the truth: If adults in your life failed to keep you safe, that is not <\/em>your fault, and you did not deserve what happened. Childhood trauma leaves powerful wounds that you may have spent a lifetime covering up, and facing that trauma can be terrifying\u2014but finding the courage to address those old wounds is the only way to truly heal this disconnection and the depression it causes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
