Abstract
|
|
|
|
Mental health is one of the most important issues for disaster survivors, and many studies have reported higher rates of mental health problems after disasters. Because Japan has experienced frequent earthquakes, tsunami, typhoons, and volcanoes, mental health problems have been a matter of great concern after disasters in Japan. To serve the psychiatric services after the Hanshin-Awaji (Kobe) earthquake, ‘Hyogo institute for traumatic stress’ was established. And when the disaster caused by the great east Japan earthquake and tsunami occurred, ‘National information center of disaster mental health’ and ‘Disaster psychiatric assistance team’ had the important role of reducing mental health problems.
