Childhood sexual abuse is linked to the onset of: • Psychosomatic Disorder • Panic Disorder • Borderline Personality Disorder • Dissociative Identity Disorder • Post-traumatic Stress Disorder • Depression • Eating Disorders • Suicidal Thoughts • Substance Abuse • Anxiety • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

26. While childhood sexual abuse (CSA) continues to be a major public health problem, an equally severe and silent epidemic are the estimated 39 million adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the United States who continue to exhibit aftereffects of CSA that predispose them to adverse psychosocial outcomes throughout their adolescent and adult life. Early childhood traumas such as sexual abuse can have lifelong effects throughout adulthood, and the cost to society is high. Ninety percent of cases go unreported and untreated, as the symptoms of CSA are often misdiagnosed and unappreciated. The Public’s Health, Los Angeles County Public Health, April 2009
