Well shit. I had a rough childhood (not nearly as bad as some folks, but bad enough that I'm still in therapy and dealing with fallout like anxiety and depression), and this study makes intuitive sense.

I also encourage anyone struggling with mental illness to see a therapist if you can, and explore your childhood. I knew my early life was bad, but I had no idea that it could still affect me decades later and manifest as something like anxiety. I've seen a few professionals that have helped me put the pieces together and give me some tools to cope. You can't go back and change the past, but you can try to make a better future.
