Aftermath of Cyclone Daniel: Psychological Impacts in Thessaly
In the wake of Cyclone Daniel, the psychological toll on residents of Thessaly has emerged as a significant concern. Local inhabitants have shared their experiences of trauma and loss, prompting researchers from the University of Thessaly and the US Psychiatric Association to study the mental health effects on affected households. Historical data shows that similar disasters, like Hurricane Katrina, led to widespread mental health issues, including PTSD and depression.
