How Does Abuse Affect The Brain

Abuse affects the brain. Emotional abuse can leave their victims prone to depression, moodiness and extreme or dulled emotional responsiveness, depending on the person and the particular circumstances. For instance“As adults, [they have difficulty] reflecting on themselves and finding the right way to deal with emotions,” (Pruessner). They find it hard in the future to deal with emotions that has been done in the brain earlier. Understanding what goes wrong during and after abuse, the researchers believe, will help them figure out how to make it right. “That is our long-term hope,” Pruessner says. The abuse can be fixed if treated earlier and help the brain heal that is why a healthy relationship is needed.
