Trauma, in whatever form and to whatever degree, is the cause of all problems that people deal with... mentally and emotionally.
And it's not only people who have issues because of trauma... it's animals too. All beings, I would assume.
You name it...
It's because of a trauma which occurred and is likely unresolved.

It must be noted that the mental and emotional effects of trauma do manifest into the physical aspects of life as well.

You're mostly right but define unresolved

Ignored... unrecognized.
Not faced.
Either not known about at all on a conscious level, or consciously known and dismissed.
Some trauma can escape the memory for a matter of time, or indefinitely.
Other trauma is remembered, but ignored because of the pain which is caused by dwelling on it.
Dwelling on trauma has to be done properly... with intention to understand and incorporate the understanding into the consciousness.
Sometimes people aren't able to do that, or they need help with it which they don't get, for whatever reason.
But trauma has to be recognized to be resolved.

Probably not, trauma are experiences that can be recognised the easiest to place the blame on for all issues, but the uniqueness of all experience and their unique outcomes, taken together with the knowledge that similar traumatic experiences lead to completely different outcomes or no observable outcomes at all.
Leads me to conclude that the experience of trauma is not the root of issues, it's just the easiest thing to pinpoint.
By placing the focus on the experience of trauma you're just creating a new problem, cause in that way every other cause goes by unrecognised.
What actually has to be recognised is the context people with issues live in cause even if a trauma has caused an issue to become apparent, the experience of the trauma is gone but the context maintains or nourishes the issue.
The past isn't a static object, whatever happened in it can always still be rewritten so naturally past trauma isn't a static object either and by rewriting it you may temporarily solve some issues, but when a person with issues lives in a context that maintains those issues the same patterns will just return. If you let that go by unrecognised while telling a person that the cause of their issues is a past trauma, you'll just make it harder for them in the long run, when the realisation comes that the recognition of that trauma, which was supposedly to blame, hasn't actually changed anything (in most cases)
