“There are some studies suggesting that high levels of stress could contribute to early puberty in girls,” she said.

Holy crap! I started puberty at age 9. And started to develop around that age as well. Had no idea trauma could be the cause of that!

It also led to more bullying.

I am glad they are doing brain studies with PTSD and also comparing things like gender. I always thought men tend to be more angry and women tend to have more empathy, but that's just my opinion based on research and observation. In any case, I did see a difference with sex so I am glad they are studying this.

Therapy should really be really catered to the person, not really gender but the person. In my opinion.
