Numerous research studies have shown that having a traumatic experience increases the risk of sequelae even years after the event.

Scientists led by Dr. Lena Johansson followed 800 women in Sweden born in the years 1914 to 1930 over a period of about 40 years.

Participants underwent various neuropsychiatric examinations and tests at different periods of their lives, and any current symptoms of psychiatric pathologies.

According to the data obtained in the research, 19% of the participants had developed dementia (of which 104 women with Alzheimer's) and 25% of the women admitted to still experiencing one of the stressors in their lives, while 16% of the women admitted to having more than four, with the most common problem cited by all women being having a close relative with a psychiatric disorder.
