Robodebt was nothing but financial and emotional abuse
there’s a mile of evidence linking such abuse to suicide
“Emotional and financial abuse can contribute to suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. The research findings clearly indicate a strong association between these forms of abuse and suicidal behavior in women:
- Women who experienced economic abuse, such as having their money controlled or being forced to work by their partner, were more likely to attempt suicide[1]. Economic abuse that limits a victim's financial independence and creates stress over material issues is linked to depression and suicidal thoughts.
- Severe emotional abuse in childhood was strongly associated with suicidal ideation and serious suicide attempts, even after adjusting for other types of abuse[3]. Emotional abuse appears to be a relevant factor for the progression from suicidal thoughts to attempts.
- Intimate partner violence, including psychological and economic abuse, can lead to feelings of hopelessness, low self-worth, social isolation, and a perceived lack of purpose - all risk factors for suicidal behavior according to the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide[4].
- The recent UK study found women who suffered domestic abuse were three times more likely to attempt suicide compared to those who did not experience such abuse[5].
In summary, the research highlights how emotional manipulation, economic control, and other non-physical forms of abuse can severely impact mental health and increase suicide risk, especially among women subjected to intimate partner violence.[1][3][4][5]
