Post Traumatic Stress Disorder following Child Abuse

Child sexual abuse can have profound and lasting changes on victims. While some children show remarkable resilience, a range of trauma disorders can result from child abuse, whether physical, sexual, or emotional in nature.

While chronic PTSD may be present, and potentially extend into adulthood, it's form tends to be far more variable than circumscribed than that seen in single event adult traumatic events.
