Claire Hunt, in her insightful YouTube video, does exactly this. She sheds light on the often overlooked harming effects that workplace bullying has on both our physical and mental health.
The video covers a range of crucial topics including the challenges of diagnosis and its overlap with other conditions. It explains how psychological abuse can cause actual brain damage, specifically shrinking the hippocampus and enlarging the amygdala.
Cognitive symptoms such as flashbacks, imaginary bullies, ruminating, amnesia/blackouts, dissociation, concentration problems, distorted thinking, and low self-esteem are discussed. The video also details behavioral effects like avoidance of others, self-isolation, self-distraction, self-abuse, regressive behaviors, and learned helplessness.
