Module 2: Caring for vulnerable populations
It is common for people to experience feelings of distress during and after an emergency. For most, these feelings will reduce with time.
People with pre-existing mental health conditions (including those with depression, schizophrenia and those who engage in harmful use of alcohol and/or drugs) are particularly at-risk during emergencies, as they often require uninterrupted access to basic needs and clinical-care. The onset of an emergency can bring about or compound acute conditions such as grief, post-traumatic stress disorder, drug and alcohol use and depression and anxiety 14.
