If you’ve been told that trauma is the root of most mental illness, this video will help you think more clearly — and more precisely — about what’s actually driving your symptoms.

In this episode of Psych 101, I break down:
• When trauma is truly the cause
• How ADHD can be mistaken for trauma
• Why “nervous system dysregulation” isn’t a diagnosis
• The difference between trauma, trait, and trigger
• And how misdiagnosis delays real recovery

We’ll walk through the 3T Test — a simple framework to distinguish whether your symptoms are trauma-based, biologically driven, or situational.

I’m Dr. Sulman Aziz Mirza, triple board certified in adult psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, and addiction medicine — and my goal is to make psychology precise, human, and actually helpful.

If this changed how you understand your mental health, comment below:
Was it trauma, trait, or trigger?

And if you’re curious about what actually causes addiction — especially if trauma isn’t the whole story — that’s next in this Psych 101 series.

Subscribe so you don’t miss it.
