The Unseen Consequences of Child Abuse

The short-term consequences of child abuse and neglect often are seen in physical injuries to a child’s body. But the long-term mental consequences, which can be extremely dangerous, are not always visible. Psychiatrist Dr. Jason Hunziker talks about the long-term mental harm and consequences of child abuse. He also discusses why some children in the same abusive environment exhibit different signs of abuse and experience dissimilar outcomes.
