Depression is a common experience for many individuals, and it can be particularly challenging for adult survivors of child sexual abuse. In this video, we explore the ways in which depression can affect survivors, including emotional numbness, disconnection, and feelings of worthlessness.

Survivors of child sexual abuse may experience depression as a result of the trauma they have endured, and the ongoing impact it can have on their lives. They may struggle with feelings of shame, guilt, and low self-esteem, which can contribute to a sense of hopelessness and helplessness.

We delve into the psychological mechanisms that underpin depression in survivors of child sexual abuse, including the ways in which trauma can affect brain chemistry and disrupt the normal functioning of the nervous system. We also discuss practical strategies for managing depression, including therapy, medication, and self-care practices.
