EMDR is an fascinating and effective therapy for a variety of mental health issues. I have seen total transformations take place as a result of the therapy. Some of the issues that I have used it for in my practice include any sort of trauma (big or small) including but not limited to childhood abuse (sexual, emotional, physical, verbal), other dysfunctions (addict or alcoholic parent, neglect, traumatic death (like someone you loved committed suicide or was murdered), abandonment, divorce), bullying, combat trauma, infidelity trauma, prior abusive romantic relationship, loss of job, birth trauma, infertility, depression, generalized anxiety, and shame/self-worth issues.  Check out the following links for much more in-depth information and answers to many questions.
