Will childhood molestation cause PTSD?

Answer by  fiendishredhead (179)

It absolutely can and will. Additionally, PTSD symptoms may not manifest immediately. I was dealing with the fallout in my 30s. Working with a qualified counselor will go a long way towards minimizing the impact of PTSD on your daily life.

This can be a cause of this disorder, but it is fairly rare as the child's brain often finds other, not better though, ways to cape with the situation they're in.
