Sexual Abuse
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Sexual abuse refers to any act of a sexual nature carried out without consent or against a person who cannot give it. It is an experience that can have significant physical and emotional consequences, and it is never the responsibility of the person who experiences it.
Possible repercussions: Anxiety, fear, sadness, difficulty sleeping, distressing memories, and effects on trust and relationships.
When to seek support? At any moment. Professional support and, when appropriate, medical and legal care, are resources to which every person has a right.
Which specialist helps? The psychologist, the clinical psychology specialist, the psychoanalyst, and the sexologist provide emotional support; the general practitioner can offer guidance on the steps for care. If you or someone close to you has experienced it, reaching out to one of these professionals or to a support line is a valuable step toward recovery.
