Answer previewVictims of sexual violence are likely to seek treatment for depression and post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD). Young females who are sexually abused as young children are at high risks of alcohol abuse disorders, withdrawal symptoms, and suicidal threats based on depression episodes. Individuals often seek services for issues that are not directly linked to sexual trauma. Unequal treatment in rape crisis services based on gender and sexuality poses high risks to the patients (Seelman, 2015). Military sexual assault (MSA) causes high risks of PTSD, especially among female veterans (Gross et al., 2019). This discussion explains depression and PTSD among childhood sexual assault and adulthood sexual assault victims. Child and adult sexual abuse, including domestic violence, cause threats of depression, and MSA increases the level of PTSD hence the need for appropriate interventions.
