Children's stress backfire through the years Bashny.Net

Who has not heard the saying: "All diseases of the nerves"? Recently, she once again confirmed.

Scientists have found that people who in childhood experienced a severe stressful situation in adulthood health is much worse, than those whose childhood was relatively calm.

This is despite the fact that now their life in General prosperous. What is the explanation to this phenomenon finds a medicine?

Psychologists from king's College London examined more than 7 100 people 1950-1955 birth and gathered information about their childhood. As it turned out, those whose childhood was unhappy, who was constantly depressed due to bad treatment from adults, or from the fact that the family was dysfunctional, in middle age five times more likely to have lost capacity for work for health reasons, but was also more prone to depression. While those who are often sick in childhood, but not experienced the stresses were rarely disabled.

Who led the study, Professor Max Henderson suggested that experienced in childhood stress is a contributing factor to the development of various diseases.

However, to explain this phenomenon from a medical point of view was not so simple. Did it only recently, experts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, led by Professor of psychology and Pediatrics Seth Pollack.

Scientists saw a direct connection between childhood experienced in stressful situations (violence, assault, or life in the orphanage, which was dominated by the harsh conditions) and the weakening of the immune system.

In blood of the volunteers described his childhood as unhappy, or stressful, were detected high levels of antibodies directed against herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) typically encountered in a hidden (latent) form. These antibodies are produced by the body, if the immune system is in a corrupted state. In the blood of those who called his prosperous childhood, the level of antibodies against the herpes virus is not exceeded.

According to Professor Pollack, our immunity is not innate, but acquired, and the immune system is highly dependent on the conditions in which we were in the early years of development. Because our nervous system is inseparable from other bodies. When stress occurs hormone release, affecting the whole body, changing his biochemistry. All this gradually weakens the immune system.

"Despite the fact that the environment in which these children grew up, has changed over time, psychologically, they still are experiencing this stress, says Pollack. This has an impact not only on their behavior and learning ability, but also on the deterioration of the immune system, which in turn seriously affects their health."

A chance to grow large patients and in those children whose mothers during pregnancy were not in the best mental state. Doctors from Hong Kong have come to the conclusion that if a pregnant woman experiences depression, anxiety, depression, it can have serious consequences for her health and for the health of the unborn child. As you know, depression weakens the body's defenses, therefore, often associated with various diseases.published
