Abstract In many cases, trauma is overcome in a short periodtime, but for some, trauma results in long-term mental health issues such as in theform of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Natural disasters cause different types and extent of damage, meaning the degree ofstress experienced also varies. In the case of damage to a house, the impact can be considerable. Therefore, this study examined thetrauma experienced by households whose homes were damaged by natural disasters and to confirm the characteristics of psychologicaltrauma. It was confirmed that traumas was greater when a house was damaged, compared with damage to other types of items. Inaddition, even in the case of trauma occurring, factors that affect the pattern of change to someone’s mental state vary depending onthe state’s classification. And In addition, health services is significantly analyzed in all variables, and it was considered that theprovision of basic services related to safety after a disaster is paramount. However, while psychological counseling has a positive effecton short-term traumas that manifests as anxiety and depression, it has an adverse effect on PTSD because of the depth and complexityof the suffering in PTSD, meaning the type of psychological support needs changing.
