The Vietnam Environment Management Agency (VIHEMA) acknowledges mental and psychosocial health as climate-related health outcomes. People affected by climate-related hazards do develop symptoms of anxiety and depression and are diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. They often relive the situation that caused them trauma with panic. According to a survey assessing the socio-psychological impact of storms and floods in Central Vietnam, people’s psychology is affected before, during and after the events, but most notable immediately after (first week), and these effects normally last for the first 2 weeks, but in some special cases they can last for months.
