the role of dysfunctional parenting in adult psychological disorders was ever fully recognized, the DSM (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders used by all mental health professionals) would shrink to the size of a thin pamphlet
This. Many at my college has high anxiety levels, aggression, and low tolerance for others. So did I until very recently.Crappy, modern diets... That's the simplest answer.
I don't think everyone is necessarily bipolar, I think people are suffering from certain degrees of trauma. I think complex PTSD, Bipolar and borderline (they are all really just forms of emotional dysregulation [up and down]) are all related. The cause is usually from prolonged psychological stress that cannot be escaped from. Add to that poor diet (hypothyroidism), huge nutritional deficiencies, dysregulated HPA axis, incessant trauma inducing news stories, constantly told we are in danger and we are not good enough etc. is a bad recipe for the human psyche. Life is like a game designed that we cannot win. Going slightly mental is a natural symptom of this.
'Renowned traumatologist, John Briere, is said to have quipped that if Complex PTSD were ever given its due – that is, if the role of dysfunctional parenting in adult psychological disorders was ever fully recognized, the DSM (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders used by all mental health professionals) would shrink to the size of a thin pamphlet. It currently resembles a large dictionary. In my experience, many clients with Complex PTSD have been misdiagnosed with various anxiety and depressive disorders, as well as bipolar, narcissistic, codependent and borderline disorders.' - Pete Walker.
