A member asked:

Can compounding trauma (alzheimer in family, death of parent,etc) during childhood be a trigger for migraines and other health issues later in life?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Speaking as a: psychologist, the liklihood of onset depression goes up during the teen years if there is trauma or loss during the critical window of age 2 to 4. This is because of a developmental stage--constancy--that is interrupted, and then re-visited during the teen years, when it is again interrupted through individuation. Physical illnesses can accompany this, but consult an MD for more specific info.
