Research suggests that individuals who experience childhood sexual abuse and do not disclose it may have a greater risk for developing health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Additionally, individuals who do not disclose their abuse may also experience feelings of shame and guilt, which could exacerbate their health issues. While Ginny may benefit from psychotherapy and supportive friends, the research suggests that her lack of disclosure is likely to have negative consequences for her health. The fact that Robin was able to talk about her abuse does not necessarily mean that she will not experience health problems, but her ability to disclose may help her to better cope with the effects of the abuse. The birth order of the individuals is not related to their likelihood of experiencing negative consequences from childhood sexual abuse.
