Abstract
- The article focuses on the recommendations to enhance the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings epidemiological assessments. It states that the IASC assessments have limited functions including the narrow focus on post traumatic stress disorder, and failure to distinguish between distress reactions and actual disorder. It mentions that the recommendations would be of great help in assessing mental health.
