Abstract

This paper aims to define child sexual abuse and look for relationships between child sexual abuse and other diseases. We first analyzed the influence factors of family, gender, and age on child sexual abuse victims. We found that this kind of sexual behavior causes physical harm to the person involved and may threaten the mental health of the victim. Detailed information has been acquired by the present research about mental diseases associated with child abuse. This fruitful work explains the causal relationship between child sexual abuse and mental illness. In the following, three mental illnesses were chosen as examples and provide adequate explanations. They are PTSD, depression, and anxiety disorder. In conclusion, gender and age as factors might be more risk for child sexual abuse, and victims are easier to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.
