It explains that chronic abuse is distinguished from isolated incidents by its repetitive nature, leading to the toxic activation of stress response systems. The document details specific brain regions affected, like the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex, and explains how these neurobiological changes contribute to mental health conditions such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Furthermore, it highlights the systemic health consequences, linking trauma to chronic inflammation and various physical illnesses, while also emphasizing the brain's capacity for healing through neuroplasticity and outlining future therapeutic advancements aimed at targeted recovery.
