A member asked:
Is it possible for childhood traumas to cause some delayed forms of depression and mental illness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: I is possible for people to block traumas from their past including from their childhood especially if they have been abusing alcohol or drugs. This is possible even if the don't abuse either of these. Traumas that happen early in childhood can be quite difficult to deal with and often require help from an experienced therapist.
