I asked my neuro about this and he said no but i,m not so sure.
Yes, adrenaline over long term blocks dopamine. Not that simple also toxins in abundance! In my opinion....
I believe it has. I have not been abused, but had a stressful childhood and also a stressful first marriage! I am on anti depressants and that makes my life so easy.
My neuro says yes.
this stands to reason, IMO. Family tensions, poverty, parents struggling to make a living all can make for a less than healthful environment. Schools that are underperforming, lack of $ for further education, the constant struggle to make you way in the world all take their toll. I know, this is life. But when my husband and I were growing up, our parents really struggled. Add in abuse or neglect and you have a stressed child who is constantly striving to find ways to cope and to make his or her life better.
My husband was never abused but he's hyper-vigilant and worried about details (like are all the doors locked at night). His anxiety level can be high because he feels vulnerable now (due to his PD). I think this anxiety came from his childhood where he had to pursue ever opportunity and work diligently (and long and hard) to make his life a success, rarely taking vacations, etc. How many PD patients were workaholics in life?

Hi David: I wish they would do a study on this. Did you also grow up near an agricultural area? I think there are more factors than we know of. Choose to be a survivor and not a victim. I am empowering myself by exercising. PD symptoms are less severe and my legs are so much stronger. Take good care.

Hi David: Just a suggestion: while pedaling on that stationary bicycle
keep repeating " let it go" Exercise makes me feel happy"
Dr russell Blaylock brain surgeon said a lot of ms ,pd etc is caused by vaccines being dirty. I take a lot of vitamins , minerals , antioxidants etc coconut oil and hope to keep my minor symptoms under control.
Anxiety packs a biochemical wallop which over time can deal a blow to the immune system. When I get a little time today I'll try to find a study I once read that was a real revelation.
