HealthDay (11/22, Preidt) reported, “Two in three survivors of childhood sexual abuse have good mental health,” but research “suggests that social isolation, chronic pain, substance abuse and depression can hinder recovery.”
Healio (11/22, Gramigna) reported researchers arrived at their conclusions after analyzing “data from 17,014 individuals aged 20 years or older who responded to the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health,” 651 of which “had a history of childhood sexual abuse.” The findings were published online Sept. 29 in the journal Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology.
