The Lifelong Impact of Early Life Adversity–and How to Break the Cycle
Book •
Daniel P. Keating's "Born Anxious" explores the lifelong impact of early life adversity on anxiety.
The book delves into the biological mechanisms, particularly the HPA axis and gene expression, influenced by prenatal and early childhood stress.
Keating examines how these mechanisms contribute to a dysregulated stress response system, leading to chronic anxiety and various health issues.
He also discusses the role of social inequality in exacerbating these effects and offers strategies for building resilience and breaking the cycle of anxiety.
The book combines scientific research with personal anecdotes, making it accessible to a broad audience.
