The Impact of Different Types of Abuse on Depression

Abstract: Despite a large amount of research on depression and abuse, there is still a controversy on how abuse is measured and on childhood trauma’s effect on the physiological function of adults. Here, we attempt to clarify the relationship between different types of abuse and depression while focusing on childhood abuse. This article, unlike prior research, provides an overview that addresses physical, psychological, and sexual abuse and their psychological impact on the victims. Results show that abuse is a vulnerab… Show more

This result was, in part, consistent with previous findings that psychological abuse was associated with depression ( 29 ).

“…The perinatal period is marked by changes in responsibilities, relationships, financial burdens, and sleep quality.

This is an assault on an individual's autonomy that can degrade their self-image and confidence and eventually lead to clinical depression [10,20]. Probable mechanisms include overreactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis which is also one of the most consistent psychoneuroendocrinological findings in MDD.…”

Certain cultures also endorse parents' power that tends to justify physical abuse and consider it acceptable, ultimately resulting in an adverse childhood experience [20].…”
