Thoughts on article linking abuse and obesity
Very interesting article, Sandy. Thanks for posting.
Isn't amazing that people who are sexually assaulted (whether as children or adults) still carry the stigma around with them? When I met with the physician to go over my sleep study results we discussed the pre-test questionnaire. One of the questions is: "Have you ever been the victim of sexual abuse or assault?" He explained that many people who have a history of sexual assault do develop disordered sleep patterns such as sleep paralysis. The absolutely shocking tidbit he shared: he meets someone who has been assaulted every single week in his practice. This is a physician who works in Thunder Bay - not a big urban centre such as Toronto. That, my friend, is some scary s**t!!
