Torture is designed to destroy individuals. Torture survivors
may be left with lifelong physical and mental health problems if not
treated by trained professionals.
Survivors often endure post-traumatic stress disorder, depression,
anxiety, nightmares, chronic pain, and other long-term effects.
Healing can be particularly difficult when individuals are in exile
from their homes; many survivors have little contact with friends,
family, or other support systems.
