Clarity on ACE Score and Rates of Antidepressant Prescriptions

Christine Cissy WhiteIt's not trauma-informed unless it's informed by trauma survivors.

I want to be sure what I'm saying about it is accurate. Does this say that over 90% of people with an ACE score of 4 or more have been prescribed antidepressants at age 50 or at one point in the 50 years following their ACEs? Is that an accurate read of this slide?

I share this one to remind survivors that it's not that shocking that we might struggle with mood issues. Though most of us, hearing this news, are pretty shocked. Mental health isn't something we talk about with friends, family, loved ones, co-workers or even doctors. And though we get prescriptions, we may lack a ton of context about who else does and does not. Anyhow, I just want to make sure I'm reading it accurately and not reading into it wrong.
