The cumulative and individual effects of negative life events on depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD in a population of incarcerated women
by Chappell, Brenda, Ph.D., THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA, 2011, 102 pages; 3466508

Abstract:

The investigation of the relationship of negative childhood events with an adult mental health diagnosis of either depression, bipolar disorder or PTSD and whether this influence was cumulative or if a single, specific, negative event influenced mental health. The most significant finding is that the cumulative ACE scale is not as predictive as some individual items.
