Can the roots of adult phobias and anxieties be found in our childhoods? Psychologists and other experts discuss the impact of remembered and repressed childhood memories, and also the danger that too happy a childhood can render adults incapable of handling trouble and stress. The question of whether adult depression is caused by childhood trauma or a combination of genetic factors and a triggering event is examined. (55 minutes)
