Clinical Counselling for Depression, Substance Abuse, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Sexual Abuse Can Result in a Lifetime of Compromised Mental Health, Especially When Left Unaddressed, According to Langley, BC Clinical Counsellor, Dr. Michael Dadson
Instances of sexual abuse are becoming more transparent in the media. There is the horrify story of USA gymnastics and their disgraced physician who abused hundreds of victims before he was caught.
Recently, The New York Times featured an article about a physician who "addicted vulnerable women to pain medications and assaulted them, according to a new lawsuit".
The impacts of sexual abuse can be profound, traumatic and life long (anxiety and depression are common), if not addressed. Not only are there mental health affects, but your physical health can be at risk as well. Dr Dadson notes research indicates eating disorders are also linked to abuse.
Counselling and other interventions are important to address the long term mental and .physical effects.
