Scared Sick - The Role of Childhood Trauma in Adult Disease (Hardcover, New)

The first years of human life are more important than we ever realized. In "Scared Sick," Robin Karr-Morse connects psychology, neurobiology, endocrinology, immunology, and genetics to demonstrate how chronic fear in infancy and early childhood-- when we are most helpless--lies at the root of common diseases in adulthood.

Compassionate and based on the latest research, "Scared Sick" will unveil a major public health crisis. Highlighting case studies and cutting-edge scientific findings, Karr- Morse shows how our innate fight-or-flight system can injure us if overworked in the early stages of life. Persistent stress can trigger diabetes, heart disease, obesity, depression, and addiction later on.
