La souffrance psychique

Le souffrance physique est elle aussi instauratrice de souffrance psychique. On ne saurait toutefois instaurer un parallélisme entre ces deux modalités, dans la mesure où la souffrance psychique est repérable, non à l'intensité de sa manifestation, mais à la tentative d'extinction dont elle fait dont elle fait l'objet.

"Common wisdom" has long linked childhood traumas such as physical and sexual abuse to psychopathology later in life.

Childhood Trauma Leaves Lasting Marks on the Brain

Now, an ongoing longitudinal study called the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study is providing strong evidence to back up that notion. Based on its results, researchers have added childhood abuse as a factor of interest in other studies, such as the Army’s ambitious suicide research program, the Study To Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers (STARRS) project.

One of the strangest side-effects of intense fear is time dilation, the apparent slowing-down of time. It's a common trope in movies and TV shows, like the memorable scene from The Matrix in which time slows down so dramatically that bullets fired at the hero seem to move at a walking pace.
