The emotional strain of dealing with two major hurricanes and an unprecedented number of tornadoes in only a few weeks has left people in Florida reeling.

“These natural disasters are psychologically beyond the normal human experience, and this trauma often leads to ongoing mental health struggles, psychoanalyst Dr. Gail Saltz says.

Hurricane Helene added stress to other vulnerable populations, like hospitalized patients undergoing chemotherapy.

People affected by trauma are at increased risk of alcohol or substance abuse, experts say.

Symptoms can last for years , although children, older adults and first responders may be more at risk.

Mental health experts urged people who needed to talk to someone to a disaster distress line to connect with a trained counselor.
