Burn victims live with permanent scars that range in severity and can result in some sort of disfigurement to their bodies. Along with the trauma of the injury itself, the extensive amount of treatment can be traumatic as well. There is a long list of psychological implications that can arise from burn injuries. The implications include the general feeling of being upset, sad or irritable, feeling helpless, hopeless, and upset about depending on others for help. Along with these, burns can also cause mental issues with falling asleep or staying asleep due to the memories of the injury or other types of thoughts of this nature. Shortly after the injury occurs, it can cause a lot of discomfort for the victim, and they can be in pain during healing.
