Natural disasters like wildfires can have severe long-term psychological effects, including anxiety, nightmares, and intrusive thoughts. Survivors often experience hypervigilance and fear of future disasters, which can affect their mental health and well-being, especially for parents. However, despite the trauma, many individuals gradually return to stable happiness. Cultivating social solidarity, self-compassion, and mindfulness can support recovery and resilience, while dwelling on negative emotions like blame may hinder coping efforts.
Homeowners' anguish can be further exacerbated if insurance doesn't cover replacement costs.
Survivors can report hypervigilance, fearing that another fire could erupt at any moment.
