What are the psychological effects of child abuse?

hey,im doing a research paper on child abuse and need more facts about how child abuse change the [mental health] of child as they grow up or face certain situationsWhat are the psychological effects of child abuse?If you want to know I lived it. Ask me and I'll tell you what you need to know.What are the psychological effects of child abuse?*its extremely difficult to trust anyone (adults especially)

*you realize that not everyone is good %26amp; there are really scary sick people in the world

*you feel so isolated/alone because no one understands

*victims of sexual abuse have many intimacy problems whether that means they are promiscous at a young age or terrified and completely turned off by sex

*children who have been molested usually have exaggerated startle reflexes (if someone touches them they jump a foot in the air)

*feeling absolutely worthless

*low self esteem

*mental problems may manifest physically (eye twitch, shaking, etc)

*if they have never told anyone about the abuse, tend to grow up very secretive, obsessed with privacy, and extremely distrustful



I really hope this helps! Good luck on your paper :)
