If a person is being made to feel worthless, ugly, stupid, or just plain inferior. If the person being attacked feels suicidal, like doping it up, drinking, cutting, or whatever risky behavior to cope. If the person is a child being abused, they should tell someone they trust...someone in the family, at school, a freind's parent, a coach. If it's an adult and talking to this person is not an option...they need to find someone supportive...whether it is a therapist or friend. No one deserves this type of abuse which can have long lasting effects and be devastating.

It's sometimes very hard to pin down. Sometimes it's masked insults. Usually, it's when somebody close to you is constantly, purposefully wearing down on yourself esteem, or self worth. It's really sad because it can be so difficult to identify, so many times people don't even begin to deal with the issues caused by an emotionally abusive parent until late in adulthood. Not myself, fortunately, but my mother was definitely emotionally abused by her mother. To this day my grandmother persists with those behaviors. But my mom is learning to just cut off contact until her mother is willing to confront those issues and acknowledge that there is abuse, and start to deal with it. Which isn't likely to happen. As far as how to deal with it, personally I think a psychological therapist is most qualified to help people deal with that.

you mean signs, not symptoms. when someone is always yelling at you, complaining for everything and calling you names, making you feel your always messing up when you really not donig nothing wrong (it's a control issue) and/or making you feel like **** all the time- all that is mental (and emotional) abuse. how you deal with it.....get out of the situation as soon as possible sweetness. your better than that. and, you deserve better.

The symptoms can be anything from insecurity and jealousy to insults and belittlement. Sometimes you don't even realize its happening. Anytime you find yourself walking on eggshells around your partner to avoid upsetting them or changing into someone else to avoid a fight or make things easier, you could be a victim. If you are pulling away from the other people in your life, it's a bad sign. As soon as you realize it, get away. No matter how much you care about them they only care about themselves...it's not worth it.

My daughter lived with it for 21 years and didn't understand that's what it was .
She was divorced 3 years ago , a messy one and he still is mentally abusing her and the kids when he can . He lies to her and controls her with the kids . She went to police and they told her if he doesn't hit you we can't do anything about it .
He is a big-shot at the bank and everyone thinks he's the nicest guy .
Good luck on getting help , I hope you do .

do you mean what are indications of emotional abuse?
emotional abuse is negative verbal abuse meant to talk down to the victim. it usually involves telling them they are worthless. it is typically pessimistic talk, or can include just ignoring or neglecting the person completely.
this is abuse when the victim is beginning to question themself and starting to believe the lies.
how do you deal with it? remove yourself from the situation. you are worth so much more, and abusers have typically been abused in the past. don't stick around. it won't change.

symptoms? don't you know if your abused or not?
It's being called names constantly, being told your not worth dog sh*t. Your cut down to a pulp.
the only way to deal with it before you need intense therapy, you get off your butt and LEAVE the one doing it.
