Untreated Trauma: Unmasking the Hidden Driver of Mental Health Struggles
“We've got to stop picking dandelion heads and start getting to the root cause and helping people get well for good, not just good enough to return to work, to get some bonus check from someone.”
What if the root cause of your mental health struggles is something that happened years ago? In this eye-opening episode of 'Healthscape', Dr. Trevor Campbell sits down with Dr. Tanguay to unravel the complex relationship between untreated mental trauma and chronic pain. Dr. Tanguay explains how often, what’s labeled as treatment-resistant depression or anxiety might actually be untreated trauma from adverse childhood experiences. This overlooked factor can wreak havoc on mental health, making it hard to find lasting relief.
The conversation dives deep into how early trauma can mess with your cortisol levels, increasing the risk of not just mental disorders but also physical diseases. Dr. Tanguay shares insights on why addressing the root cause is crucial and discusses modern approaches like ketamine therapy. They also touch on the importance of finding purpose and meaning in life as part of the healing journey.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your mental health journey, this episode might just hold the key to understanding why. It’s a must-listen for anyone dealing with chronic pain, addiction, or mental health issues, and for those who care about them. Tune in to learn about holistic approaches that could make a real difference in your life.
