Isn’t this like the first thing psychology found out?
While it certainly isn’t news to us today, every additional observation that supports a theory is valuable, especially for theories about deep-rooted and hard-to-prove causality.
We can’t just go out traumatizing children “for science” to find out what the incident rate of mental health as it relates to different traumas.
Seriously! I thought we’d figured everything out already! Why are scientists still trying to learn things?
Further studies legitimize claims made about these kinds of things.
It’s basically an academic disagreement between two schools of thought. The behaviorist like models in psychology can be at odds with the biochemical imbalance model of psychiatry.
Studies like this help expand treatment options since the biochemical imbalance theory has gained significant popularity and awareness in recent years. Not everyone struggling has a chemical imbalance and not all mental illnesses are caused from trauma. Some have both. Nuance is king with sort of issue
I thought the Diatheses stress model was pretty well accepted? It’s kind of a mixture of both.
Full agreement. I seem to have biochemical and trauma based issues myself. I can’t medicate the pain away, but my adhd requires a holistic, chemicals included, response.
