It is known that the prenatal and first seven postnatal years of life are highly critical for brain development, which lay the foundations for affective and cognitive development49,158 as well as HPA axis function.137,159 Exposure to CT during these critical developmental phases has potentially negative short-term and longer-term consequences on the development of affective and cognitive functions due to aberrant changes to brain structural and functional processes.160 Devastating effects of CT on suboptimal attachment in relationships have also been linked to the onset of BD.60,62 Therefore, existing screening and identification programs aim to identify young people at increased familial and clinical risk showing aberrant developmental signs. Reviews and meta-analyses have reported increased levels of peripheral inflammatory markers in BD, including elevated levels of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-), C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), but also soluble receptors that can inhibit (soluble IL-2 receptor, sIL-2R) or enhance (sIL-6R; soluble TNF receptor-1, sTNFR1) the action of cytokines.127129 Importantly, a meta-analysis of 25 studies found that CT exposure was also associated with increased levels of IL-6, TNF- and CRP in both clinical and non-clinical samples.130 Studies investigating the impact of CT exposure on levels of peripheral inflammation in BD reported inconsistent findings. presented findings based on youths at increased risk of developing BD defined as having a family history of mental illness79 (Table 1).

Cohen AN, Hammen C, Henry RM, Daley SE. Bauer A, Fairchild G, Hammerton G, et al. 2020;59:277289. In addition, emerging evidence suggests that endocrine, immune or genetic dysfunctions are related to the severity of BD and a history of CT, which may also be linked to the greater prevalence of physical health conditions. Bipolar and Childhood Trauma Worldwide dozens of studies have linked childhood trauma to bipolar disorder. 2014;12:72. The .gov means its official. BDNF val66met modulates the association between childhood trauma, cognitive and brain abnormalities in psychoses. Two early-onset studies87,88 (Table 2) reported significant associations of CT with poor functioning, greater symptom severity87 and a greater likelihood of co-existing mental health conditions,88 which resemble findings in adult studies. 2014;40:697706.

Almuneef M, Qayad M, Aleissa M, Albuhairan F. Adverse childhood experiences, chronic diseases, and risky health behaviors in Saudi Arabian adults: a pilot study. Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder that causes people to experience noticeable, sometimes extreme, changes in mood and behavior. The latter result was in the context of a significant association between methylation of this gene and CT exposure in a group of healthy volunteers.154 These data support the possibility that gene expression may be a mechanistically important avenue to integrate into larger scale longitudinal studies examining the contribution of CT to mental health outcomes. 75. doi:10.1038/nrn2513, 50. Alameda L, Ferrari C, Baumann PS, et al. 2010;67(2):113123. doi:10.1002/ajmg.b.31193, 31. This review will discuss the role of childhood trauma in bipolar disorders. This process involves disruption of the psychological and biological systems mediating responses to stressful events and may remain difficult to describe in precise mechanistic terms until the culmination of large-scale longitudinal studies, such as the UK Biobank, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study and the IMAGEN project.173176 These are well placed to address the interactions of CT with biological markers (eg, genetic, brain-derived, hormonal or inflammatory-based) to determine the contributions to the development of BD, its course and severity. Stress and neurodevelopmental processes in the emergence of psychosis. Grillault Laroche D, Curis E, Bellivier F, et al. 2010;197(5):378385. Logistic regression, controlling for age and sex, identified emotional neglect to be the only significant CTQ subscale associated with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Some common causes associated with BP include childhood trauma, stressful life events, family history, changes in brain chemistry, and drug or alcohol abuse. 2018;97:182189. The first objective of this selective review is to characterize the short-term effects of CT in the development of BD by focusing on studies in young people. 19. Adverse childhood experiences influence the detrimental effect of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia on cortico-limbic grey matter volumes. 2014;38(11):17871793. 2017;124:89104. 2014;171:990999. Cambridge University Press; 2010:1324. A plethora of studies provided evidence that CT plays a crucial role in the development of major mental health conditions, in addition to other environmental factorssuch as cannabis misuse and genetic risk markers.5358 The mechanistic processes leading from CT to the development of mental health problems remain unclear, although some genetic and psychological risk factors have been identified.48,59,60 Most studies examined the relationship between the occurrence of CT and clinical characteristics of BD, including illness onset and chronicity in adulthood, with the majority using cross-sectional designs.11 To better understand the role of CT as a risk factor for the development of BD, both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have included young people who have experienced CT and show BD symptoms or who are at an increased risk of developing BD.

Childhood adversities and adult psychopathology in the WHO World Mental Health Surveys. Bipolar Disord. In the last few years, this vulnerability stress model has been refined for the onset of schizophrenia (SZ) to encompass neural processes6466, and is also accepted and used in the wider psychosis field, including for individuals with BD.67 In comparison to the original model, this revised vulnerability stress model proposes that CT triggers the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, influencing stress-sensitive neural processes linked to behavioral or cognitive deficits in BD and psychosis.67.

Some experts believe that experiencing a lot of emotional distress as a child can cause bipolar disorder to develop. Bipolar disorder An additional mental illness that has been found to be associated with childhood trauma is bipolar disorder. Associations between childhood trauma and childhood psychiatric disorders in Brazil: a population-based, prospective birth cohort study.

Research on a sample of 587 patients with DSM-IV defined bipolar disorder finds that an earlier age at onset of bipolar illness - along with suicide attempts, rapid cycling, and an increased number of depressive episodes - each had highly significant associations with childhood trauma. 2, 97, 98 Childhood trauma in the broader sense is considered to be evident in almost 50% of patients with bipolar disorder. 2018;95:85122. There are 10 major types of adverse childhood experience. Bipolar disorder is the most likely psychiatric disorder to be passed down from family. Bellis MA, Hughes K, Leckenby N, et al. Childhood Trauma & Bipolar Disorder A 2016 study in the International Journal of Bipolar Disorders found that childhood trauma is associated with an earlier onset of bipolar disorder as well as an elevated risk of certain symptoms and effects, including impaired cognition, substance abuse, and suicidal behaviors.

We also identified two reasons for the lack of interaction between CT, family history of mood disorder and prodromal symptoms as risk factors, and clinical outcome measures of BD. You can learn about what data of yours we retain, how it is processed, who it is shared with and your right to have your data deleted by reading our Privacy Policy. One obstacle is to define transdiagnostic risk markers related to the experience of CT as well as BD-specific markers.5052 Therefore, new research should investigate how CT may interact with other known risk factors or how it may mediate the risk of developing BD. 52. However, increased severity of delusions was associated with increased total CT scores.98 In contrast, when specific CT subtypes were considered, significant positive correlations were observed with i) physical abuse94,97 ii) emotional abuse94,96 iii) physical neglect94 and iv) emotional neglect96,97 in individuals with first-episode and chronic BD. 41. 2010;34(11):842855. doi:10.1046/j.1365-3016.2001.00325.x.

But some research suggests up to 98% of people living with bipolar disorder will experience at least one trauma in their lifetime and 51% of people living with the disorder will have experienced childhood trauma. Future studies utilizing moderation and mediation analyses among at least two potential risk factors may result in support for the diathesis-stress model or the differential susceptibility model. In addition to blunted cortisol awakening response,139 lower response to the dexamethasone test (-cortisol)143 has been reported in association with CT exposure in individuals with BD. 24. 67. 77. In conclusion, exposure to CT during neurodevelopmental stages earlier in life, including young adulthood, contributes to an increased risk of developing BD.

Prevalence and correlates of physical and sexual abuse in children and adolescents with bipolar disorder. Some of these effects have been reported to be driven by subtypes of CT, especially levels of neglect (emotional or physical).119,120, When comparing groups of individuals exposed versus non-exposed to CT, decreased hippocampal and amygdalar volumes were associated with a diagnosis of bipolar-I and bipolar-II disorders rather than an effect of CT exposure.121 Interestingly, the same authors suggested that trauma exposure may impact the morphology of subfields of the hippocampus rather than the overall structure: compared to individuals not exposed to CT, the bilateral cornus ammonis 1 (CA1), presubiculum and subiculum volumes were larger in individuals with BD exposed to CT.

Bipolar I and bipolar II disorder: cognition and emotion processing. Dev Psychopathol. Advantages of including subjective information of CT history in both pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions in individuals with BD, including young people with BD, have been highlighted recently.161 For cognitive behavioral psychotherapies and psychoeducational interventions, better outcomes than treatment as usual156 were observed with a similar finding found in youths with BD.162 A possible explanation for these findings is that such approaches offer individuals help to cope with their experiences of adverse events as well as with the resulting heightened stress reactivity163,164 and greater exposure to recent stressful events.156,165 Further support for integrating CT experience with other treatment approaches, such as pharmacological treatment, in individuals with BD has also been provided.161 Reduced efficacy of treatment with mood-stabilizing agents in individuals with BD was linked to the occurrence and severity of CT. Refractoriness to treatment with lithium was associated with a lifetime diagnosis of CT-related PTSD in adults with BD.166 A comparable result was found in young people with BD, where greater severity of physical abuse was linked to poor response to lithium.167.

Childhood trauma interacts with several genes belonging to several different biological pathways [Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, serotonergic transmission, neuroplasticity, immunity, calcium signaling, and circadian rhythms] to decrease the age at the onset of the disorder or increase the risk of suicide. Green JG, McLaughlin KA, Berglund PA, et al. To gain a better understanding, we differentiated the correlational findings by relationships (bivariate and partial) between the experience of CT (total score and subtypes of CT) and psychotic symptom severity (positive symptoms and negative symptoms) in contrast to previously reviewed studies of relationships between the occurrence of CT and general psychotic symptom severity (Table 3).

Cakir S, Durak RT, Ozyildirim I, Ince E, Sar V. Childhood trauma and treatment outcome in bipolar disorder. A recent systematic review of meta-analyses concluded that exposure to childhood sexual abuse was associated with a wide range of psychosocial and health outcomes.24 Similar findings have been reported for exposure to other traumatic events.25.

Not everyone who experiences trauma goes on to develop PTSD, bipolar disorder, or any mental health condition. Changes in gene expression associated with HPA axis function are potentially key factors implicated in the development of BD following exposure to CT. To the best of our knowledge, only one study reported changes in gene expression associated with exposure to childhood emotional abuse in individuals with BD. Children and teens may have distinct major depressive or manic or hypomanic episodes, but the pattern can vary from that of adults with bipolar disorder. Annu Rev Clin Psychol. 2020.

Different CT scores were used across studies, ranging from a total CT score93,9597 to scores for subtypes of CT (for example, physical neglect).9397, Table 4 Associations Between Childhood Trauma and Positive Psychotic Symptom Severity in Adults, None of the five studies reported a significant correlation with total CT scores in individuals with first-episode or chronic BD. This study reported modified co-expression of Diacylglycerol kinase eta - Homo Sapiens (DGKH) and Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3 Group C Member 1 (NR3C1) when compared to the other genes of the HPA axis.63 These changes in gene expression may be the consequence of epigenetic changes, mostly due to changes in DNA methylation of the genes implicated in the stress response.149 For example, emotional abuse/neglect was associated with lower levels of methylation in the intron 7 of the FK506 binding protein 5 (FKBP5) gene, a co-chaperone protein that regulates glucocorticoid receptor sensitivity,150 in individuals with BD carrying the T allele of the single nucleotide polymorphism rs1360780 of the FKBP5 gene.151 Other studies showed that decreased methylation in some CpG sites within the 5-hydroxytryptamine 3a receptor (5HT3AR) gene mediated the association between childhood physical abuse and the number of mood episodes reported in a cohort of individuals with BD, borderline personality and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders.152 Others found no changes in DNA methylation in the glucocorticoid receptor 1F gene (GR-1F)153 or in the KIT Ligand (KITLG) gene154 in association with CT exposure in BD. Lack of trust in others. Int J Bipolar Disord. Susceptibility is seen as the inhibition of the typically present potential for plastic adaptation after the experience of CT as part of the diathesis-stress model.68 The differential susceptibility model proposes that more susceptible individuals perform poorly in highly stressful or triggering environments. The aim of the present study is to assess the association between childhood trauma and clinical outcomes, including the global functioning, in a community sample of young adults with bipolar disorder. However, childhood trauma modulated the effects of BP disorder on the amygdala and hippocampus - the regions of the brain involved in stress response and emotion processing. 2018;195:1322. Norman RE, et al. The IMAGEN study: a decade of imaging genetics in adolescents. Getting the right help for the PTSD often alleviates the Bipolar symptoms greatly, and makes it much easier to deal with.

Clinicians may consider checking for childhood trauma in patients with bipolar disorder or in those with a more severe or unremitting course. This study showed that young adults with bipolar disorder and childhood trauma had higher severity of depressive symptoms, higher prevalence of current suicide risk, and higher global functioning impairment when compared to subjects with bipolar disorder without childhood trauma. This is a cross-sectional study with a community sample of subjects with bipolar disorder, from 23 to 30 years old, with and without childhood trauma. Dauvermann MR, Donohoe G.

Dissociation as a Coping Mechanism The abusive individuals had created many positive experiences for me, too. So many people are suffering from that now. Acute cortisol reactivity attenuates engagement of fronto-parietal and striatal regions during emotion processing in negative mood disorders. However, these individuals perform better in positive and supportive environments when compared to less susceptible individuals.69,70 According to this model, differential susceptibility describes the ability of an individual to positively adapt ones behavior to supportive environmental conditions following aversive experiences.6870 Therefore, this model provides theoretical foundations for preventative interventions to support and enhance young peoples resilience. Mol Psychiatry. Savitz JB, Merwe LVD, Stein DJ, Solms M, Ramesar RS. Offspring of individuals with BD exposed to CT also show decreased salivary cortisol levels during daytime when compared to healthy individuals.144 More recently, a study reported higher hair cortisol concentrations, a marker of chronic stress, in individuals with either chronic BD or SZ with a history of CT, relative to both healthy controls and patients without a history of CT.145 This was in contrast to another study reporting no effects of CT on hair cortisol concentrations in newly diagnosed individuals with BD.146, Other studies have investigated the relationship between cortisol changes in response to an MRI session, considered an experimental stressor, and brain function during the performance of emotional tasks.
