Abstract
- The study aims to evaluate whether a traumatic experience such as an earthquake has any effect on the probability of suicide, especially those who seem psychologically healthy. It is observed that earthquake experience was not a risk factor in suicidal ideation, especially for those who have no social network disturbance, no loss of life in the family, and no major psychiatric illness.
