SEX, TRAUMA AND BIPOLAR PEOPLE

Any kind of extremism or extreme event can lead to poor mental health.

I can think of 'John' who was groomed and sexually abused by a male teacher at the age of six. 

Apparently John 'repressed' the abuse; his wealthy family were reportedly unaware of the abuse.

As a teenager, at a different school, John voluntarily had sex with various boys and teachers.

As a young adult, John began to experience rage. 

One might imagine that, subconsciously, he was enraged with his parents and perhaps enraged with his own failures.

John was diagnosed as being bipolar.

John has now come to terms with his problems.

He has done this by talking to people about his traumas and writing a book about his traumas.

Vivien Leigh was bipolar.

"Emotional abuse experienced in childhood, especially in children aged 5 years and younger, confers an increased risk for bipolar disorder, new research shows."

Emotional Abuse in Childhood Linked to Bipolar Disorder

Sometimes a mother is separated from her young child due to illness or divorce; or a mother has emotional problems which affect the upbringing of the child.

Various dramatic events can temporarily alter the chemistry of the brain.

Such events include the death of one's partner, the loss of one's job, the loss of one's home or some kind of traumatic sexual situation.

When the victim eventually comes to terms with these difficult events, the brain chemistry can return to normal.

The rage resulting from sexual and other traumas, is not always directed against the people and institutions that may have caused the problems in the first place.

"Instead, the rage is generally directed at helpless victims who are sacrificed to the sick gods of guilt, shame, and ignorant pride."

Sexual Repression.
