If Racism Causes Damage To The Brain and Aging, What About Sexism, Ageism, etc.

Scientific studies demonstrate that racism can have disastrous effects on the brain, and cause aging and dementia.

I posted about these studies this week and noted:

“’’Two terrible things have now crossed paths.’ According to new research ‘the chronic stress of racism and disrespectful treatment could contribute to poor brain health and later disease.’ The new study found that discrimination, including employment discrimination, ‘may cause accelerated aging, building on prior research that found discrimination may contribute to health problems like depression and heart issues.’”

I exhorted both employers and employees to become aware of all aspects of racism that are so pernicious. The health of everyone in the workplace is, or should be, as important as the work itself.

But what about the other “isms,” like sexism, ageism, and discrimination or harassment based upon every other protected category? And what about bullying?

“Disrespectful treatment” knows no boundaries.

Seems to me that if there were any such studies relating to the other “isms” they would likely lead to similar conclusions: that any discrimination, harassment and/or bullying can lead to damage to the brain and resulting dire consequences.

Can anyone cite to similar scientific studies involving these other “isms?

I welcome any reader feedback.
