Description
Mhd Homam Safiah and co-authors survey Syrians on mental health signs in the first weeks after the 2023 earthquake. Their paper from 2024 covers the quake of February 2023, which hit northern Syria at a time of deep crisis. The study was run across the country from mid February to early April that year.
About fifty five percent of those surveyed showed signs of acute stress, with one in ten at severe levels. About seventy two percent showed signs of depression and fifty nine percent signs of anxiety. Two in five showed all three at once. Being female, being displaced, being poor, and a past mental health history each went with worse signs in the models.
