Abstract

Disaster mental health is an essential aspect of post-crisis recovery, encompassing the psychological and emotional effects that survivors experience after traumatic events such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or pandemics. As these events disrupt entire communities, they not only cause physical damage but also induce long-term mental health consequences, which can be pervasive and debilitating. This article explores the concept of disaster mental health, its importance in recovery, and the various interventions used to support affected individuals. It highlights the challenges faced by mental health professionals in the aftermath of disasters and emphasizes the importance of early intervention, community support, and resilience-building strategies to mitigate the psychological impact of such events. Through case studies and research, the article demonstrates the critical need for a well-structured disaster mental health framework that includes immediate relief, long-term support, and awareness-raising initiatives to promote recovery and resilience.
