Article Synopsis
- Exposure to traumatic events is linked to mental health issues like PTSD, depression, and anxiety, as well as physical conditions such as asthma, particularly among women.
- A study with 508 women found that those with asthma experienced higher levels of PTSD and depression; another smaller group underwent fMRI scans to examine brain responses to social threats.
- Results suggest a connection between asthma and increased severity of trauma-related symptoms, highlighting the relationship between stress, brain activity, and mental health.
