Thanks for the AMA, Dr Lee! I got cancer at 29, and I genuinely believe that it’s in part due to childhood trauma, chronic stress, decades of suicidal tendencies, and the straw that broke the camel’s back is the 6 months before I got sick, I was stuck in a very unsafe environment and I had never been more stressed out.
What significant or surprising facts / hypotheses do you believe in that would surprise people about the correlation between adverse childhood experiences and developing serious, potentially fatal conditions?
