Psychiatrist Dr. Tan: Earthquake trauma is contagious
Stating that 75% of people may experience emotional reactions due to trauma as a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes, Psychiatrist Dr. Tan said: “Among these disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) comes first. Trauma is contagious. Although people are not directly exposed to trauma, those who witnessed the event, those who watched in the media and especially those who are in the rescue team can also be traumatized.”
