Ramifications of Sexual Abuse
Individuals that have experienced the horrific experience of sexual abuse at the hands of a pastor, priest, scoutmaster, family, friend or loved one has lasting and serious ramifications. Abused victims typically suffer post-traumatic stress disorder, manifesting in a myriad of symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and anger. Psychological examinations can typically reveal increased risk of suffering from substance abuse, becoming a child sexual abuser, or engaging in criminal conduct, among other things.
