These discoveries may also assist in finding treatment options or aid in prognoses for patients.

This data was based solely on direct interviews for self-reported symptoms, although some participants also providedinformation about hospital data, lab tests, and more recent medical history.

The effects of birth order could also have a huge impact on our way of thinking and actions. People who are born in different orders, as well as different genders, are affected differently by their childhood experiences. There is no doubt that life experiences can either improve or impede the way we act and think. For example, women who fall into the second half of birth order are more likely to engage in violent behavior, while those who are born in the first and third order may exhibit higher levels of pro-social inclinations.

It makes you feel unimportant and doesn’t give your confidence back. But when ...
