Mental Abuse
Background
This information is about the specific health area mentioned above. It comprises a combination of textual and video information, on our site and on external sites. We will be adding new specific health areas and further information continually.
The idea is for you to understand more about the health area you are addressing before you get too far building your action plan.
General Information
What is mental abuse, exactly? The short answer and clinical answer are the same: mental, psychological, or emotional abuse is a type of abuse where one person exposes another to some type of behavior that causes psychological trauma. Emotional abuse can create traumas that change the way you think, feel, and behave.
Mental (or emotional and psychological) abuse is sometimes not as obvious as physical abuse. It can have an enormous impact on your self-esteem and self-worth. It can leave you feeling anxious, worthless and even depressed, and it can be equally as harmful as physical abuse. While the person using abuse might never have physically hurt you or your children, emotional and psychological abuse is no less serious than physical violence and abuse. No matter how normal it may seem, emotional and psychological abuse is not acceptable, and no one deserves to experience this abuse.
Background Information
There is information available which will help you formulate your action plan – both on our site and on external sites.
On our site

Sometimes the owner of a video will not allow the video to be played on external sites. If you see the video is unavailable on the left just click the ‘WATCH NOW’ link on the right and the video will play in a new window.
This short video is very disturbing – it starts with the premise: It can be painful to lose the one you love. And even more painful to leave the one you love. Men share their stories about the one that got away. It’s almost sweet and sad.
In order for you to assess what you know about this health area, we suggest using a questionnaire. This might help you understand your situation in this area, or taking it might improve your understanding of the area.
You may be able to take this questionnaire online – either here on our site or on an external site – or download it and complete it on paper – it depends on copyright (and whether we’ve managed to build it on our site!).
The ways you can take a questionnaire:
