Childhood Neglect Trauma And Adult Self Esteem

Approximately 4 million children in the U.S. are exposed to trauma every year. Trauma in children can occur due to several reasons including sexual or physical abuse, natural disaster, fatal accidents, war, witnessing a death, suicide or murder, kidnapping, shooting, parental neglect, domestic violence and fires.

However, around 63 percent of trauma cases in children are as a result of childhood neglect. Mental trauma in children can lead to severe emotional disturbances resulting in psychological disorders.

Childhood neglect can be simply defined as a type of maltreatment where children are not provided age-appropriate care that includes comfort and nourishment. Other necessities of children include clothing, education, medical care, emotional support, love and affection, which are all required so as to ensure a proper physical, intellectual and emotional development in children. Childhood neglect is quite common in children growing in orphanages. Children are also neglected in families where parents are aggressive and in families where parents are unsupportive and neglectful.

Symptoms of such psychological disorders occurring in children due to a trauma include sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, aggressive behavior, fear, constant alert, flashbacks, amnesia, feeling of being guilty and shyness. However, one important symptom that goes unnoticed during treatment of a psychological disorder is the lack of self-confidence or self esteem. Even if all the symptoms of the disorder are cured, this symptom tends to accompany the child even during adulthood. According to research findings, children who are raised in troubled surroundings are more prone to mental and physical illnesses later in life.

Life can be really hard for adults lacking self esteem. These people will not be able to succeed either in their personal and professional life. Adults lacking self esteem experience high levels of depression, anxiety and fear. These people tend to suffer with diseases such as heart attacks, obesity, diabetes and hypertension.
