Displaced disaster victims experience anxiety and depression, data shows
Briefly

The trauma of natural disasters doesn't end with the physical destruction; recovery involves long-term psychological impacts that often remain unaddressed in disaster aid.
Our analysis revealed that certain demographics, such as low-income individuals, racial minorities, and the LGBTQ community, faced higher risks of displacement during disasters.
