Introduction

The term emotional abuse is a term that is described in different relationships differently. Ideally, emotional abuse is the damage in a person's emotions which is influenced by various factors. There are non-physical behaviors that cause emotional abuse; these include insults, threats, excessive messaging, stalking, isolation, intimidation, humiliation, constant monitoring, and threats.

Various behaviors qualify to be emotional abuse, these are:

Yelling at someone

Calling someone abusive names

Embarrassing someone in public

Preventing someone from talking with family members

Ordering someone on what to wear

Intimidation, control, and humiliating someone using social networks

Stalking someone

Making threats to a partner if the partner dares to leave the relationship

Spreading rumors and threatening to take someone's child away

Threats to harm family members, pets, and friends

As we have seen, emotional abuse is high especially when the relationship between two individuals is affected by non-physical abuse or violence. Verbal abuse is the main cause of emotional damage because it is the first trigger that can lead to physical violence. The worst thing about emotional abuse is the fact that some threats or words can be repeated so many times that it becomes a reality. One starts to believe that she is not beautiful, that he is not handsome, and that he/she is fat, ugly, and not dateable. The extreme bit is the lack of confidence and low self-esteem that crops up, and self-blame starts to beat someone down.

Emotional abuse is a social problem that has a catastrophic impact. There is a growing concern about defining what it is, confronting it, and providing remedies to some of the effects that it causes. In the fields of education, medicine, social science, and law, this aspect is being looked into, because these fields require a strong mind and individuals who are strong in their confidence to impact society, and a countermeasure of this abuse has to be readily available to individuals.

Emotional abuse is a different form of violence in all kinds of relationships. It is often characterized by behavior patterns that cause injury to parties that are usually innocent and not deserving of the treatment. Emotional abuse happens in families, health, industry, religious places, non-quasi-religious places, and corporations. When you are looking into emotional abuse, always know that the victim's state is fully understood.

Let us look at emotional abuse in two classes of people

a) A child

b) An adult

A child

Ideally, the emotional abuse of a child is described as inflicting emotional or mental injury into a child, which leads to the impairing of a child’s development, physiological functioning, and growth.

An adult

When we get to the adult, we describe emotional abuse as inflicting anguish, mental pain, and distress via non-physical or physical actions that include isolation, terrorism, exploitation, humiliation, corruption, stalking, and even dishing out threats.

Emotional abuse can also come in the form of an attitude that ends up becoming a behavior. The abusive attitude does not have to be intended by the abuser. It can be a reckless action that can still cause damage.

Aspects of an emotionally abusive relationship

Humiliation - This is whereby, a child or an adult feels bad about himself. A child or an adult can be compelled to believe that he/she is worthless, and he/she cannot be valued by anyone. To achieve this kind of abuse, shaming, screaming, and name-calling, are some of the catalysts that erode someone's self-esteem.

Dominance - This is the aspect where a person obeys without question, and one becomes another’s slave. One is treated as an object. An adult is treated as a young child, and a child is treated like an incompetent good for nothing kid.

Isolation - This happens when a child or adult is separated from interacting with the world in any way. It can involve keeping the individual away from family members, friends, or even attending school or work.

Intimidation - These are gestures that include smashing objects at someone's face, destroying one's property, laying down weapons to command authority, and even hurting pets to make a point.

Threats - Victims are confronted with threats from abusers for them to stay where they are. Abusers may threaten to harm the victim’s pets, their family members, threaten to commit suicide, and even file charges against the victims of crimes they have not even committed.

It is important to point out that different states define emotional abuse in a different light because the abuse depends on where the location is. There have been studies that show that emotional abuse cases depend on the location where the abuse has occurred. Since there is no clear standard for defining emotional abuse, some abusers can escape criminal charges in some states or countries. The confusion about what is regarded as emotional abuse in a country or state is what is followed to implicate someone on such a charge. There are places where emotional abuse is viewed according to the resulting damage that occurs. The problem with this approach is that it fails to provide a preventive measure on how to avoid this kind of abuse from happening.

There is a revision that has been going on about the statistical manual of mental disorders. This manual is often used by medical practitioners in the mental health field to help in the identification and diagnosis of pathological tendencies in society. The book does not face emotional abuse symptoms head-on, but when you look at the symptoms that are caused by depression and anxiety, they are explicitly described.

Different Types Of Emotional Abuse

There are different forms of emotional abuse that are applied to victims.

1. Undermining someone's opinion

This is characterized by the abuser withholding emotional support from the partner.
