“…A greater number of traumatic experiences was associated with greater risk for major depressive disorder in primary care patients in a cross-sectional study (McQuaid, Pedrelli, McCahill, & Stein, 2001) and in a population-based study (Tanskanen et al, 2004). Additional data strongly suggest that increasing severity, frequency, and duration of abuse results in an increased likelihood of developing depression (Bifulco, Brown, & Adler, 1991;Briere & Runtz, 1988;Mullen, Martin, Anderson, Romans, & Herbison, 1993;Murphy et al, 1988;Sedney & Brooks, 1984).…”

The effects of early-life trauma and its consequences for the treatment of depression are reviewed. The prevalence and clinical sequelae of early sexual and physical abuse, neglect and parental loss are described. An overview of preclinical studies that help guide clinical research and practice is presented. Human clinical studies on the neurobiological consequences of early trauma are summarized. Moderating factors, such as genetic variation and sex differences, are discussed. The few current treatment outcome studies relevant to this research area are described. Guidance for the management of patients with depression and a history of child abuse and neglect are provided. Most patients who have experienced early traumatic experiences are likely best treated with a combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. This review is dedicated to the memory of Seymour Levine who pioneered the field of early experience research and to a considerable extent inspired the clinical studies described in this review.

“…Sexual abuse is another form of incident which is responsible for loss of social relationship of a betrayal of trust, and loss of childhood innocence. When a child experiences the disintegration of family structure through interfamilial sexual assault, he or she is more likely to experience elevated anxiety, heightened interpersonal sensitivity, increased anger problems, more paranoid ideation and increased obsessive compulsive symptoms (Murphy et al, 1988).…”

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between stress and anger of rural and urban adolescents of Chittagong district in Bangladesh. The sample of the study consisted of 120 respondents of whom 60 were male (30 rural and 30 urban) and 60 were female (30 rural and 30 urban). Their age levels were 13 -19. They were selected purposively from different areas of Chittagong district in Bangladesh. Bengali version of Life Stress Scale (Fahim, 2001) was used to measure life stress and Bengali version of Adolescents Anger Rating Scale (AARS) (Islam & Chowdhury, 2011) was used to measure adolescents' anger. The obtained data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, t-test and Pearson product moment correlation. Results revealed that the stress of urban adolescents was greater than rural; the anger of urban adolescents was more than the rural; the stress of female adolescents was more than the male and the anger of female adolescents was more than male. Results also showed that adolescents' stress was positively correlated (r = .86, p < .01) with their anger.

“…The effects of traumatic events on obsessive compulsive symptoms were also investigated, and statistically significant correlations were determined both in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with patients and non-clinical sample between obsessive compulsive symptoms and childhood traumas (35,36). It was suggested that thoughts related to trauma might be converted to obsession (37) after some time.…”

Five patients had three sessions , eight patients had five sessions and two patients had six sessions of EMDR applications. The treatment was ended when patients expressed that they were not in pain. were applied at the end of the first week before EMDR applications and just after the EMDR applications.These tests were given to the patients who were invited to control again after one month and three months.
