How Do Disasters Affect Our Mental Health In The Long-Term?

Description

A new study published in the Harvard Review of Psychiatry looked at the long-term mental health impact of disasters. “The US, like other countries, is constantly confronted with a variety of natural and human-induced disasters, sometimes accompanied by severe human losses and significant social and economic impacts,” lead author Michel L.A. Dückers told us. Dückers hails from the ARQ National Psychotrauma Center and the Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
