A study that reveals a relationship between the memories of past life and the mental health disorders of adults
According to the study, conducted by Sandra Massel de Carvalo and her team with the support of the BIAL Foundation, the memories of the past life PLM that some adults declare may be more common than it was believed, and may be related to narrow psychological feelings and challenges at the level of mental health, and these results come based on the analysis of data of 402 participants in Brazil who reported their memories of life Previous.
The researchers, affiliated with the Federal University of Joys de immediate (Brazil) and the University of Virginia (United States), explained that 82% of the participants stated that these memories appeared spontaneously in an average age of about 20 years. The most common features of these people included: continuous phobia (71%), unusual tendencies (30%), and congenital signs (54%).
The widespread spread among female adults
The results, published last July within the International Journal of Psychological Science, also indicated that these features intersect in many cases with similar reports documented in children, with the exception of the widespread spread among female adults, as women constituted about 79% of the studied sample.
While 46% of the participants indicated their suffering from the symptoms of mental disorders, the study showed a relationship between the memories of past life and childhood phobia, as well as some of them associated with post -traumatic disorder (36%). On the other hand, it seemed that religiosity and spirituality, which were expressed by the majority of the participants, were associated with higher rates of happiness and a decrease in symptoms of psychological distress, which may indicate their role as psychological protection factors.
Researcher Sandra Massel de Carvalo said: The results show that the memories of the past life among adults are not a rare phenomenon, and may be associated with high levels of psychological suffering, which makes it an issue that deserves more research and attention in the field of mental health.
