Exploring the Psychological Impact of Abusive Language on Individuals: A Study of the of Abuse Survivors

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine how abusive language affect survivors in the Pakistani environment, especially factors contributing to health, emotional and mental well-being. Through surveys, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews the phenomenon was thoroughly investigated. The results emphasize that all manner of abusive language takes a serious and lasting grasp on survivors, creating emotional pain like low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, or the fear of being judged. The contributions of friends, family, and professionals were all seen as very important in the recovery process. Also, some significance was attached to the role professional counseling played. This study concludes that we urgently need to wipe away the stigma attached to talking about emotional disturbances and establish empathic environments where survivors dare seek assistance without fear of censure. It recommends creating public awareness, setting up safe places, and increasing the availability of mental health services to solve this problem in Pakistan.
