Trauma — especially early trauma — is linked to increased rates of anxiety, depression, suicidality and post-traumatic stress disorder. But that's not all. Trauma, if not managed, can also impact your physical health — years after it's occurred. Most of us are no stranger to life's many hardships, but the medical community hasn't always taken a trauma-informed approach to care (trauma-informed care presupposes that all patients have some form of trauma that may be affecting their well-being).
