Abstract

Early life trauma (ELT) comprises an array of disturbingly common distressing experiences between conception and the beginning of adulthood with numerous and significant potential long-term, even transgenerational, health consequences of great public health concern, including depression, cardiovascular disease, and other psychiatric and medical disorders, and neurobiological, psychological, and behavioral effects which are sufficiently robust to confound many types of biomedical research. The impact of ELT on a woman’s health trajectory appears to vary with the specific characteristics of the ELT (e.g., type, number of different types, severity, and timing), the individual (e.g., age, genetics, epigenetics, personality, and cognitive factors), and the individual’s environment (e.g., level of social support and ongoing stressors) and to be mediated to a significant extent by persistent changes in a number of biological systems, dysregulation of those governing the stress response chief among them. Growing knowledge of the risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms by which ELT confers diathesis to various poor health outcomes and the unique treatment–response profiles of women with ELT will lead to much needed improvements in prevention, diagnostic, and therapeutic efforts, including more effective psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy approaches, hopefully making strides toward improvements in the lives of women everywhere and ending countless cycles of intergenerational trauma-associated pathology. This article attempts to broadly summarize the current state of knowledge about the long-term sequelae of ELT for women’s health.

Opel N, Redlich R, Zwanzger P, Grotegerd D, Arolt V, Heindel W, et al. Hippocampal atrophy in major depression: a function of childhood maltreatment rather than diagnosis? Neuropsychopharmacology. 2014;39(12):2723–31. The authors reported an inverse relationship between bilateral hippocampal volumes and ELT (CTQ) scores in both patients with MDD and in healthy controls. Each CTQ subscale showed similar effects on hippocampal volume. Contrary to some prior studies, the presence and magnitude of depressive symptoms were not associated with hippocampal volumes, suggesting that the decrease in hippocampal size commonly cited in studies of MDD patients may be due to ELT to some extent. This study highlighted the importance of ELT as an important potential confounder in the study of affective disorders and lent support to the hypotheses that depressed patients with histories of ELT may be a distinct clinical subtype with a common set of neurobiological alterations and that hippocampal volume loss after ELT may be a trait-like risk factor for developing depression.

The authors completed a meta-analysis of 16 epidemiological and 10 clinical studies published before December 31, 2010 regarding the effects of ELT on recurrence, persistence, and responsiveness to treatment of depression, showing that ELT was associated with increased risk of developing recurrent (OR 2.24) and persistent depression (OR 2.34) and an increased probability of depression failing to respond or remit with pharmacotherapy (1.26) or combined treatment (OR 1.9) in depressed individuals with histories of ELT compared to depressed individuals without histories of ELT. There was a nonsignificant trend toward decreased responsiveness to psychotherapy in depressed patients with histories of ELT relative to those without. The lack of placebo controlled clinical trials limited the conclusions that could be drawn regarding the effectiveness of treatment of depression in victims of ELT. PubMedCrossRef

Childhood maltreatment, depression, and suicidal ideation: critical importance of parental and peer emotional abuse during developmental sensitive periods in males and females. Front Psychiatry. 2015;6:42. The authors conducted a cross-sectional study of 18–25 year olds to determine the effects of 10 different types of ELT occurring at different ages, providing robust evidence for modality-specific sensitive exposure periods when maltreatment maximally impacts risk for MDD, current symptoms of depression, and degree of suicidal ideation. The results highlighted the relative importance of peer and parental emotional maltreatment – insults often assumed to be significantly less noxious than physical and sexual abuse – among the various types of ELTs in terms of conferring risk of psychopathology. They also supported the hypothesis that there are early and late sensitive periods and that experiencing specific types of ELT during particular sensitive periods may be as or more important than cumulative stress exposure. The generalizability of the results to victims of ELT older than 25 years old was limited by the narrow age range of the subjects, a problem that should be addressed in future studies.

Arch Womens Ment Health. 2015. doi:10.​1007/​s00737-015-0528-x. The authors found that a mother’s history of ELT was significantly associated with a greater tendency toward exhibiting a neutral affect and a decreased cortisol response during interactions with her 6-month-old infant. The tendency toward exhibiting neutral affect during mother-infant interactions was partially mediated by the mother’s mean cortisol level, which was inversely related to her history of ELT. Past or present symptoms of depression did not mediate these associations. The results add to the growing literature demonstrating the deleterious effects of ELT on mothering behaviors, demonstrate that some of these effects may be mediated by persistent changes in the HPA axis, and suggest that some of these effects on the outcomes of her offspring act independently of any diagnosable psychopathology (e.g. depression, PTSD) that she may have and so require separate targeted interventions.
