Ten months after Hurricane Katrina,its emotional effect on children is proving to be long and lasting.Two studies of the children affected by the hurricane have found high rates of depression,anxiety,behavioral problems and posttraumatic stress disorder.
A mental health screening of nearly 5,000 children in schools and temporary housing in Louisiana found that 96 percent saw hurricane damage to their homes or neighborhoods,22 percent had relatives or friends who were injured,14 percent had relatives or friends who died,and 35 percent lost pets.34 percent were separated from their primary caregivers at some point; 9 percent still are.
The concern for the children is not just the immediate trauma from the storm,but that so much of their lives remains disrupted.
A report estimated that 189,000 children were disrupted by Hurricane Katrina.About 110,000 still do not live where they did nine months ago.Some children have attended as many as nine schools since August.Those who have returned to school in New Orleans often do not attend the same schools with the same students or teachers as before.
