Psychological Harm

Psychological harm refers to emotional or mental damage caused by experiences such as abuse, neglect, bullying, or traumatic events. It can affect a person's thoughts, feelings, self-esteem, and overall mental well-being, leading to conditions like anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Unlike physical injuries, psychological harm is invisible but can be just as serious, impacting daily functioning and quality of life. Recognizing psychological harm is important to provide appropriate support and prevent long-term mental health issues.
