Episode 31 - What Came First, the CPTSD or the ADHD?
Episode description
This is a continuation of the previous episode to a degree.. I wanted to try and elaborate on how for those who are suffering from CPTSD and ADHD (or ADD) often have a very difficult time knowing the history of each diagnosis as well as did I have ADHD from my early childhood development? or do my ADHD symptoms actually come from the repetitive abuse, bullying, trauma during my years in school?
It is well known from recent studies that CPTSD related trauma causes the same developmental problems in the pre-frontal cortex of the human brain, just like ADHD. What we believe to be ADHD could very well be from past trauma in our lives that just hasn't been really looked into by a professional.
A million children each year are misdiagnosed with ADHD because there wasn't enough investigation into trauma and abuse in their earlier years of development.
Still a lot of research needs to be done in order for us to really get a true understanding of what is really happening inside a brain while development is occurring.
