In addition to physical and sexual abuse, two other common types of abuse are:
1. Emotional or psychological abuse: This type of abuse involves behaviors such as verbal threats, intimidation, humiliation, manipulation, or isolation that can have serious effects on a person's mental and emotional well-being. Emotional abuse can be challenging to recognize as it doesn't leave physical scars but can have long-lasting impacts on the victim's self-esteem and mental health.
2. Neglect: Neglect occurs when a caregiver fails to provide the necessary care, supervision, or attention that a child or vulnerable individual needs to thrive. This can include not meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing, medical care, or emotional support. Neglect can have severe consequences on a person's physical, emotional, and cognitive development.
These forms of abuse, along with physical and sexual abuse, highlight the range of harmful behaviors that can occur in various forms of mistreatment experienced by individuals, particularly children.
