- Abstract
Disaster mental health research in general has focused on PTSD far more than on other psychopathology; PTSD has been considered the "signature diagnosis of disaster" [[8]]. Starting with the definition of trauma in the PTSD criteria, a major impediment is quickly encountered: naturally occurring illness, such as in a COVID-19 pandemic, does not constitute a qualifying trauma for the I DSM-5 i definition of PTSD. Disaster mental health is a consequential topic in today's world in which disasters are increasing in both numbers and magnitude and inflicting deep psychological wounds across wide populations. The consideration of PTSD criteria was divided into three main elements that are essential for understanding trauma-related psychopathology: objectively defined trauma, objectively defined exposure, and subjectively reported reactions that must be conceptualized and considered separately from one another to think clearly about trauma-related psychopathology and its application to COVID-19.
