Emotional Abuse

Emotional abuse in children and adolescents is a prevalent form of maltreatment that significantly impacts mental health, often leading to issues such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. This type of abuse can manifest through behaviours like constant criticism, humiliation, or unrealistic expectations, and is associated with long-term psychological effects, including difficulties in emotional regulation and increased risk of psychiatric disorders.
