Battered woman syndrome

Battered woman syndrome is a mental health condition that can affect some women who are in an abusive relationship. This can happen when someone uses physical, sexual, or emotional abuse on them. It can also include threats or other controlling behaviors like isolating them from friends and family.

When a woman is being abused, she may start to feel scared and helpless. This can lead to her becoming very anxious and having trouble trusting people. She might also get angry easily and not feel like she can take control of her own life. All of these feelings can be part of battered woman syndrome.
