Maltreated children are at risk for significant psychological and physical health symptoms. These include anxiety, depression, suicide, impulsivity, hyperactivity, interpersonal problems, hyper arousal, and dissociation (Lawson, 2009).

However, as the person begins to recognize that there are some aspects of the external world, they slowly draw into themselves, differentiating between the ego within them and the reality of the world outside.…
