A victim may under goes through Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Emotional Numbing and Detachment and negative thought patterns. Sexual abuse often leads to symptoms of trauma, such as intrusive memories, flashbacks, and nightmares, which can contribute to the development of depression. Increased risk of self-harm, substance abuse, and other maladaptive coping strategies can result from the trauma of sexual abuse. A comprehensive approach that includes therapeutic support, Trauma-Focused Therapy, medical management,  Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and social support can help individuals heal and recover from the effects of trauma.
