Chonghui also adeptly leaned forward: "Hmm, this time our main task is to verify the post-disaster mental health situation of the affected communities. First and foremost, it's the emergency cases, short-term post-disaster visit records related to suicide, self-harm, and psychosomatic symptoms induced by psychological factors."
Suicide and self-harm are easy to understand.
Psychosomatic symptoms are a bit more complex. It refers to situations where there is no physiological medical pathology, yet symptoms such as difficulty breathing, headaches, and chest tightness inexplicably appear.
Simply put, it means "although my body is fine, I feel like something is wrong, so my body actually shows symptoms of illness."
These situations are acute psychological crisis events that erupt post-disaster and are key indicators for assessing post-disaster mental conditions.
