Trauma Linked to Significant, Persistent Psychosis Risk

Individuals diagnosed with traumatic stress disorder have a significant and persistent risk of subsequently developing schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, a large-scale registry study indicates. Niels Okkels, MD, Department of Affective Disorders, Aarhus University Hospital Risskov, in Denmark, found that there was an eightfold increased risk of developing schizophrenia and a fourfold increased risk for bipolar disorder 5 years after experiencing trauma. His results also showed that immediately following exposure to trauma, the risk for a psychotic diagnosis was as much as 20-fold higher. More info here: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/861278
