I can tell you that it does not.

This is low and middle income countries, don’t forget. These demographics are different in high income countries.

Yep. My father was a combat wounded vietnam veteran. Took eight rounds and had his leg completely shredded by mortar shrapnel. Seems it can also be passed genetically so there is more to it than currently understood.

Trauma has also been shown to activate DNA that leads to brain diseases.

In my case it was related to low GABA. The primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. Both my father and myself diagnosed bipolar. Both related to low GABA. He then died from ALS, also caused by prolonged low GABA. In both our cases, it's a result of GABA:glutamate ratio. With no inhibition, you have bipolar like symptoms. Just saying.

Of all abortions worldwide. Unsafe are like back ally abortions, home remedies, or from unlicensed clinics. The only options people have when abortion are illegal or prohibitively expensive.

There's nothing stating that this brain anomaly is hereditary. You're bringing up ancient scientific ideas from before Darwin. No perspective, there's absolutely no proof with this claim you made.

Kinda is, gray matter isnthought to be correlated with intelligence, if reading this correctly, a hypothesis like mine could be true.
From my perspective, I'm glad to hear yours.

45% are considered unsafe?

Nothing I told you about dissociation is wrong. I stated everything I stated, and yet you didn't read my comment through and got a hair up your ass. As someone with the mental illness myself and having a therapy team of doctors for years now, I simply told you the information on dissociation. All credible verifiable facts. I STATED the other portions that I didn't know (for this exact hateful ass unnecessary reason), you could have just said "oh for dissociation it's this part of the brain, for this part of the brain it's for this."
Stop acting like I have said nothing verifiable by a simple google search when really you can't just hold a reasonable conversation and have to go all ridiculous.

I am the og commentor about out of body experiences - and no, it's NOT just dissociation as I have repeatedly told you. Link a study supporting that claim. That's why I brought up ketamine, which induces dissociation (and is used medically for this), to help you find a source. I doubt you will. Any source.
No, you're over here telling people with mental illness a bunch of lies, I'm not cool with it. You're wrong and your interpretation is wrong.

There’s a book called “the body keeps the score” that discusses the changes in the brain from childhood abuse. It’s fascinating reading. The author, Bessel Van Der Kolk was one of the pioneers who recognized PTSD and push to have a big part of the DSM. There’s actually imaging in the book showing different areas impacted by trauma.

It's honestly neither, this is a newly described and specific phenomenon to child sexual assault per the original article. Not the case in other forms of danger.

I never did say it was linked with that area of the brain. I specifically said I DIDNT know which area of the brain dissociation was from. I simply replying to the original commenter what the out of body feeling experience was. And I never said anything about drugs. For Pete's sake, calm down.
