How can I tell if someone might be emotionally abused?
Signs that someone might be experiencing emotional or psychological abuse include
- showing fear of certain family members, friends, or caregivers;
- withdrawal, apathy, or depression without any apparent reason;
- physical signs of isolation being imposed, for example, locks
on doors, or having no access to phone, radio, or television;
- the older person being largely ignored, treated passively, or
treated like a child by a caregiver.
Emotional or psychological abuse can be hard to detect, but may be an indication that other forms of abuse are also taking place.
