Acid attacks can have a profound emotional impact, causing trauma that lasts long after the physical injuries heal. Victims often face anxiety, depression, and PTSD, in addition to the pain and disfigurement caused by the burns. Psychological support is essential for their recovery.
Victims may experience anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem due to trauma and disfigurement. These emotional effects can be as debilitating as the physical injuries.
PTSD is common among survivors, with symptoms including flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened fear. Without proper psychological support, these effects can significantly impact daily life.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused therapy help victims manage anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Support groups with other survivors provide comfort and reduce feelings of isolation.
Victims can benefit from relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises and physical activity to improve their mood and overall well-being.
A strong social support network, including family and friends, plays a crucial role in emotional healing. Encouragement and understanding from loved ones help victims rebuild their confidence.
Many survivors require long-term psychological support. Regular therapy sessions and counselling for both the victim and their loved ones help manage the lasting emotional effects of the attack.
Providing psychological support is essential for acid attack victims to cope with trauma, rebuild self-esteem, and promote emotional healing. Mental health care should be a key component of the recovery journey.
