New longitudinal research highlights how grave the effects of childhood trauma can be for anxiety and depression
Childhood trauma is well-known to have adverse effects on mental health into adulthood, but the nuances of these outcomes are not well understood. A study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders explores how childhood trauma impacts specific aspects of depression and anxiety over time.
Childhood trauma has long since been linked to increased mental health risks in adulthood, especially anxiety and depression. Despite this, there has been a lack of resources focused on parsing out which symptoms are related to childhood trauma, in addition to the relationship with diagnoses.
This study seeks to expand the literature on childhood trauma and mental illness by exploring differences in symptomology between people who have and have not experienced trauma and by measuring these symptoms over time.
“The state of knowledge on childhood trauma and clinical features of depression and anxiety was scarce and heavily relied on methodologically heterogeneous cross-sectional studies, focusing on a limited range of depressive/ anxiety symptoms, with largely understudied anxiety. Thus, understanding whether individuals with childhood trauma could be more vulnerable to developing specific symptoms of affective disorders was inconclusive,” Erika Kuzminskaite and colleagues wrote in their study.
The researchers utilized data from a longitudinal cohort of Dutch-fluent adults. At the baseline wave, there were 1,803 participants, which was reduced to 1,475 by the last wave, 6 years later. Childhood trauma was assessed at baseline by researchers. At each wave, depressive and anxiety symptoms were measured, as well as sociodemographic information and psychiatric medication status. Approximately half of the sample experienced some form of childhood trauma, while about 70% of the sample had a depression and/or anxiety disorder diagnosis.
Results showed that participants who had experienced childhood trauma showed increased severity of all anxiety and depressive symptoms, showing how grave the effects of childhood trauma are. The strongest increased symptomology for participants with trauma was seen in regard to mood/cognitive depressive symptoms.
“Exposure to childhood trauma may alter basic cognitive assumptions about the self and others, which over time may become a part of an individual’s personality,” the researchers explained. “Indeed, individuals with a history of childhood trauma are more often characterized by negative cognitive schemas and negative self-associations, which could explain the specific development of more severe mood/cognitive depression symptoms.”
Additionally, symptoms remained higher over the 6-year period for participants with trauma as opposed to participants without, showing the chronic nature of these effects. Participants without trauma showed a more rapid decline in symptomology over the years. Symptom severity for participants who experienced childhood trauma was increased for symptoms of depression over symptoms of anxiety, which is consistent with previous research on childhood trauma survivors.
This study took significant steps into delving into the nuances of childhood trauma’s effects on mental illness. Despite this, there are limitations to note. One such limitation is that recalling childhood trauma as an adult can be affected by memory and biases. Additionally, the sample was predominantly female and entirely Dutch-speaking, which could greatly limit generalizability.
“Future large-scale longitudinal projects are required to understand better the underlying childhood trauma mechanisms that bridge early trauma and future mental health outcomes,” Kuzminskaite and colleagues concluded. “Comprehensive screening for childhood trauma in clinical practice is essential to identify individuals at risk for a more severe and chronic course of affective disorders. These individuals may benefit from the development of personalized treatment planning (e.g., additional lifestyle-based intervention or intervention targeting stress system dysregulation).”
The study, “Childhood trauma and its impact on depressive and anxiety symptomatology in adulthood: A 6-year longitudinal study“, was authored by Erika Kuzminskaite, Christiaan H. Vinkers, Yuri Milaneschi, Erik J. Giltay, and Brenda W.J.H. Penninx.

“Torture chamber,” mass grave found in Kherson, Ukraine after Russia’s retreat
Dnipro, Ukraine – Russian airstrikes targeted gas, electricity and other key infrastructure across Ukraine on Thursday, knocking out heating and water supplies to a huge number of civilians just as winter sets in. As snow started falling around the country, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Vladimir Putin’s tactics had left more than 10 million Ukrainians without electricity.
That includes many residents in villages, towns and cities recently liberated from months of Russian occupation in eastern and southern Ukraine. The people of Kherson, a major southern city that Russia’s invading forces only fled a couple weeks ago as Ukraine’s army advanced, are now staring down a winter without power, having already endured so much.
But right now, there’s still jubilation. Not since American troops helped defeat the Nazis has Europe seen celebrations quite like what Kherson is experiencing now.
And only now, seeing what the Russians left behind when they made their hasty retreat, is it clear just why.
The instruments of what survivors say was torture at the hands of the invaders still litter a police station in Kherson. Residents and Ukrainian officials have said Putin’s troops turned it into a “torture chamber,” and the air is still tinged with smoke.
Oleksander, a survivor, said some of his fellow detainees at the old police station were electrocuted.
“My cellmate’s tongue was so black and swollen after interrogation, he couldn’t put it back in his mouth,” he said.
Vitaly and Alesha said they were blindfolded and then taken into a basement after relaying intelligence to Ukrainian forces.
“Around my kidneys, over here, they kicked me, and they punched me in the face until my nose was bleeding” said Alesha. “They even said they would force us to walk through a minefield towards Ukrainian positions.”
The Russian troops have retreated, but they’re still within earshot, just across the Dnipro River. The river now forms the front line between Ukraine’s defenders, who have retaken ground and pushed right up to its western bank, and the occupiers, who have dug in on the other side.
That leaves the city of Kherson, on the west bank of the river, and all of its people still within range of Russian-controlled cell phone towers — not to mention its artillery, and even gunfire.
In addition to traumatized survivors, the Russian retreat has also left behind mass graves.
Ukraine’s chief investigator said the bodies in one Kherson gravesite all bore signs of torture.
Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian parliament’s human rights commissioner, said more than 3,000 crimes were committed during Russia’s months-long occupation of the Kherson, and 90% of them were war crimes, including rape, torture, and murder.
Ukrainian media quoted Interior Minister Denys Monastyrsky as saying, meanwhile, “that the search has only just started, so many more dungeons and burial places will be uncovered.”
Dead Arecibo telescope offers asteroid warning from beyond the grave
After collapsing into pieces in December 2020, the mighty Arecibo Observatory has a final parting gift for humanity — and it’s a doozy.
Using data collected by Arecibo between December 2017 and December 2019, scientists have released the largest radar-based report on near-Earth asteroids ever published. The report, published Sept. 22 in The Planetary Science Journal, includes detailed observations of 191 near-Earth asteroids, including nearly 70 that are deemed “potentially hazardous” — that is, large asteroids with orbits that bring them within 4.65 million miles (7.5 million kilometers) of Earth, or roughly 20 times the average distance between Earth and the moon.
Fortunately, none of these newly described asteroids pose an immediate threat to Earth; according to NASA, our planet is safe from deadly asteroid impacts for at least the next 100 years. However, scientists still pay close attention to near-Earth objects like these in case their trajectories happen to shift by some fluke of nature — say, a bump from another asteroid — thereby putting them on a collision course with Earth.
The new report also flagged several asteroids deemed worthy of future study, including an oddball space object called 2017 YE5 — an ultra-rare “equal mass” binary asteroid, made of two nearly identical size rocks that are constantly orbiting one another. (Each of the rocks is estimated to measure between 2,600 and 2,950 feet, or 800 to 900 meters, in diameter). The asteroid’s high radar reflectivity may indicate an abundance of water ice beneath its surface, possibly making it a never-before-seen class of icy, equal mass, near-Earth asteroid, the researchers wrote.
With this new “treasure trove” of data, scientists can better measure these asteroids’ shapes, sizes and spin periods, which are crucial metrics for assessing the potential risks that the asteroids may pose to our planet, lead study author Anne Virkki, a researcher with the Department of Physics at the University of Helsinki in Finland, said in a statement.
“The amount of valuable data collected is unique, and these results could not have been achieved with any other existing facility,” study co-author Flaviane Venditti, head of Arecibo’s Planetary Radar Science Group, added.
The Arecibo Observatory was constructed in Puerto Rico in 1963, becoming the world’s largest and most powerful radio telescope. Its iconic 1,000-foot-wide (305 m) telescope dish became world famous in the 1990s after it was featured in movies such as “Contact” (1997) and “GoldenEye” (1995). By then, the observatory was already known in the scientific community for beaming humanity’s first message to aliens into space in 1974.
More recently, Arecibo’s observations of asteroids played a direct role in planning NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, in which scientists crashed a spacecraft into the near-Earth asteroid Dimorphos and altered its orbital period by 32 minutes.
Arecibo’s career ended abruptly in December 2020, after two critical support cables snapped, leading to the complete collapse of the telescope. In October 2022, the National Science Foundation — which owns the site on which Arecibo was built — announced that the telescope will not be replaced or repaired, much to the dismay of scientists and space lovers around the world.
Researchers are still analyzing a backlog of data from Arecibo, the team noted — so the world’s most famous dead telescope may still have more scientific gifts to offer us from beyond the grave in the years to come.
Cardano Creator Charles Hoskinson Warns That the White House’s New Crypto Proposals Pose Grave Threat to Bitcoin
Cardano (ADA) creator Charles Hoskinson is warning that new recommendations by the US government do not bode well for Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto assets.
Taking issue with the recommendations of a new White House Office of Science and Technology Policy report that calls for the involvement of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) to create evidence-based environmental standards for the responsible design of digital assets, Hoskinson says the proposals could result in an outright ban of Bitcoin.
“[The] EPA and DoE are going to start talking to crypto companies to basically tell them to change the way that their cryptocurrencies work.
And which way? Well, these should include, ‘Standards for very low energy intensities, low water usage, low noise generation, clean energy usage by operators and standards that strengthen over time for additional carbon-free generation to match and exceed additional electricity load of their facilities.
Should these measures prove ineffective at reducing impacts, the administration should explore executive actions and Congress might consider legislation to limit or eliminate the use of high energy intensity consensus mechanisms for crypto-asset mining.’
In other words, Bitcoin should be banned. That’s how you read that.”
The report is a response to an executive order signed by President Joe Biden in March calling for “responsible digital asset innovation.”
According to Hoskinson, the US government can employ various strategies to achieve its objectives that could spell bad news for proof-of-work crypto assets.
“The White House is now basically hiding in page seven a report no one will ever see or read: ‘Hey Mia, nice thing you got there with proof of work but, you know, global warming bad. So we should ban it.’
And we will soft ban it by having the EPA and DoE come in and basically create standards that you can’t adhere to.
And then when you can’t, create some form of executive order or legislation to basically prevent you from being able to do it.
Or destroy your profit margins so it’s no longer profitable for the American mining industry.”

Elon Musk says Tolkien is ‘turning in his grave’ over Amazon’s ‘Rings of Power’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Elon Musk on Monday said J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of the “Lord of the Rings” series, is “turning in his grave” over Amazon Prime’s new hit adaptation of the fantasy books “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.”
“Almost every male character so far is a coward, a jerk or both,” the Tesla CEO tweeted. “Only Galadriel is brave, smart and nice.”
Galadriel is a female warrior elf who is the lead of the Amazon series and a character created by Tolkien.

He later added, “Those who claim any criticism of Rings of Power means you’re racist are outing themselves as closet racists.”

Of the criticisms from some fans that casting non-white characters wasn’t true to Tolkien’s world, Hollywood Reporter contributor Richard Newby argued, “The most common refrain is that Tolkien didn’t include people of color in his stories. Not only is this untrue, as harfoots are described as having ‘browner’ skin, but Tolkien didn’t often make a point to describe skin color.”
Morfydd Clark, the actress who plays Galadriel, defended her character morphing into more of a warrior role than she was depicted in “The Lord of the Rings.”

“I would say that her serenity [in “Lord of the Rings”] is hard-earned,” she told Variety. “I don’t think you get to that level of wisdom without going through things. She actually speaks about with wisdom, there is a loss of innocence, which was a really good thing for me to find in the lore. Because, like, how young are you when you’re still thousands of years old? So it was thinking of what innocence she lost during this time.”

“The Rings of Power” is a prequel series to “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.”
Musk is an avid sci-fi/fantasy reader and also frequently criticizes fellow billionaire and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos when he can.
The two also run rival space exploration businesses SpaceX and Blue Origin.

“The Rings of Power” is both the most expensive TV series ever made and boasted Amazon’s biggest premiere with more than 25 million viewers worldwide last Thursday.
Musk’s tweets echoed similar criticisms on Twitter but also had its detractors.

“Elon Musk doesn’t come to me for advice on how to fail to buy Twitter, and I don’t go to him for film, TV or literature criticism,” “Good Omens” writer Neil Gaiman – who is not connected to the show – tweeted after being asked about Musk’s remarks by a fan.
