Abuse victims have significantly more depression, suicidality, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and problems with substance abuse. Abused women also have been found to have more chronic health problems, such as cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, gastrointestinal, and gynecologic problems. Asthma, confusion, and frequent colds are not problems associated with abuse.
