Violent and sexual victimisation and incident anxiety, mood and substance use disorders in childhood and adolescence: a co‐sibling study
The results are consistent with a causal interpretation of the association between police-reported victimisation and psychiatric disorders. Mental health-related support after victimisation is an important task as it may prevent the onset of psychiatric disorders. Prevention of victimisation might decrease the number of psychiatric disorders in the population.
