Relationship between trauma & other MI diagnoses

Relationship between trauma & other MI diagnoses

Hi all,

I have finally found something in writing about the links between these two. The more I have understood my own trauma and MI (and learned about others') the more I have had a strong sense that all these different diagnoses are different presentations of the effects of trauma. So here it is:

"many mental health patients report a history of traumatization, regardless of diagnosis. Thus it is difficult to sort out which symptoms and disorders are associated with traumatization, and which are not. Many patients who have serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar I and II, and other psychotic disorders have a history of traumatization"

From the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation website

I'll be very interested to hear what you all think about it... @kenny66 @Rick @Loopy @Alessandra1992 @Ellie @peace @Neb @BatGuano @kato @Aonaran etc (sorry everyone else - I can only list up to 10 apparently before I break the mention function!)

Looking forward to hearing from others.

Kind regards,

Kristin

Hi Kristin,

Im so happy to 'see' you again! But glad you know yourself well enough and have that insight to be able to take a break as needed.

I've seen those studies before and they are interesting,

Hope your little one is better soon,

Thanks LJ,

It's lovely to "see" you too. I've just put her to bed with 3 chapters of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. She wants more of course. I'm too wrecked tho. She gave me her cold last week in time for my birthday and I had a whopping migraine to boot first thing. I seem to have nearly got over that and now she has gastro - it's going around according to the GP. So I am hoping I odon't catch that too!

Take care of you my friend, love to everyone. I do think of you often, and when I'm well enough I read my digests sometimes. I keep you in my prayers. Back when I can.

to you all

Kristin

I was tramatized from the abuse I received in a relationship I was in many years ago. I have never been the same since. Yet, I have matured, & know now, NEVER to trust or get deceived into another relationship with an angry controlling person like him again.

@kristin

I know a lady at Anglicare who has done papers and includes stuff on childhood adversity and trauma. Maybe its slower to get into the mainstream of our system cos we are so small in Oz.
