Description
Chronic fear in infancy and early childhood can have long-lasting consequences for our health. Robin Karr-Morse explores the connection between childhood trauma and adult diseases, revealing how persistent stress can trigger conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, depression, and addiction.
In Scared Sick, Karr-Morse draws on the latest research to demonstrate how our innate fight-or-flight system can be injured if overworked in early life. By examining case studies and cutting-edge scientific findings, she sheds light on a major public health crisis that affects us all.
