Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome Emerging As A Problem In The Disaster Zones |
2005-01-09 |
An Australian doctor working in Sri Lanka says the biggest health problem to face tsunami-ravaged countries in the coming months is depression and post-traumatic stress. Sean Scott, from St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, says Sri Lanka has already suffered psychological trauma due to its volatile political situation, and the tsunami has added to the devastation. Dr Scott also says the most desperately-needed items in the camps are toilets. |
