Psychological Abuse Statistics

GITNUXREPORT 2026

Psychological Abuse Statistics

Psychological abuse is not a side issue within intimate partner violence. When 6.6% of U.S. adults report emotional abuse in the past 12 months, and women are far more likely than men to report psychological abuse by a current or former partner, the mental health fallout becomes hard to ignore.

About 35% of women worldwide have experienced intimate partner violence that may include psychological abuse, yet many headlines still treat IPV as something physical first. In the U.S., 6.6% of adults reported psychological violence in the past 12 months, and psychological aggression by a partner affected 29.2% of U.S. adults in 2010 to 2012. The pattern that emerges is unsettling and measurable, because non-physical control often tracks closely with depression, anxiety, and even PTSD rather than staying “quiet” behind the scenes.
