Childhood trauma can have lasting effects on a person’s mental health, leading to an increased risk of depression and anxiety in adulthood. The latest research also reveals that trauma-based anxiety and depression can increase a person’s tendency towards anger, and the worse the childhood trauma, the angrier the adult. This can have a negative impact on the person’s personal and social life and make it more difficult to treat their depression and anxiety. It is essential for psychiatrists to ask patients about their past trauma and anger issues while offering the appropriate treatment to tackle their issues.
