Tsumani Continues

Behind the sheer numbers that make the tsunami toll lies a much more frightening figure.Lakhs of people are suffering from psychological problems like post-traumatic stress. In places like Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu, the administration is making a rare effort to tackle this hidden damage. However, it seems like a monumental task.
The doctors say the worst phase of trauma is about a month after the incident when the horrific scenes they witnessed come back to haunt the victims.While the state is making a commendable effort, these patients perhaps need more dedicated counselling if they are to have any hope of getting over their trauma.
