dc.description.abstractEarthquakes can have a substantial impact on communities, leading to severe economic losses, structural damage, casualties, and displacement, as well as adverse psychological effects on survivors. Previous studies have highlighted a broad spectrum of adverse psychological effects following disasters, such as sleep disturbances, emotional distress, depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Posttraumatic stress disorder is particularly common among disaster survivors. It is characterized by the emergence of specific symptoms following direct exposure (experiencing a traumatic event firsthand or witnessing it happen to others) or indirect exposure (learning about a traumatic event involving loved ones or repeatedly being exposed to distressing details of the event). Disasters, crises, and traumas are difficult life experiences that require individuals to seek support. It is crucial to identify key factors such as individuals' location, emotional state, and their specific needs during these times to provide effective assistance. Addressing these aspects is essential in preventing trauma from worsening or becoming more entrenched. Post-earthquake psychosocial support should include comprehensive, long-term, and sustainable interventions to improve the mental health of both individuals and society. The aim of this article is to evaluate PTSD and related mental health issues following earthquakes.
