Physical abuse is any intentional and unwanted contact with you or something close to your body. Sometimes abusive behaviour does not cause pain or leave bruises but it 's still unhealthy.
Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse refers to any action that pressures or coerces someone to do something sexually they don 't want to do. It can also refer to behaviour that impacts a person 's ability to control their sexual activity or the circumstances in which sexual activity occurs. Emotional Abuse
Emotional abuse includes non-physical behaviour such as threats, insults, constant monitoring, humiliation, intimidation and isolation.
Psychological Abuse
Psychological abuse can make the person feel "less of a person". It diminishes the person 's sense of identity, dignity, and self-worth. Psychological abuse, unlike physical abuse, leaves no visible scars or bruises, making it harder to detect. Financial Abuse
Financial abuse can be very subtle -- telling you what you can and cannot buy or requiring you to share control of your bank accounts. Financial abuse also includes the illegal or improper use of a dependent 's financial resources.
Institutional Abuse
Institutional abuse refers to a kind of abuse that takes place inside institutions where the victims were placed for their rehabilitation, education, welfare, or even protection. Self Neglect
Self-neglect is a behavioural condition in which an individual neglects to attend to their basic needs, such as personal hygiene, appropriate clothing, feeding, or tending appropriately to any medical conditions they have.
