We also find the crisis adversely impacted population psychological well-being. We document substantial increases in several different dimensions of psychological distress among male and female adults across the entire age distribution over the crisis period. In addition, the imprint of the crisis can be seen in the differential impacts of the crisis on low education groups, the rural landless, and residents in those provinces that were hit hardest by the crisis. Elevated levels of psychological distress persist even after indicators of economic well-being such as household consumption had returned to pre-crisis levels suggesting long-term deleterious effects of the crisis on the psychological well-being of the Indonesian population.CC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEAGE DISTRIBUTIONAGEDANXIETYBULLETINBURDEN OF DISEASECITIESCOMPLICATIONSCULTURAL CHANGEDEPRESSIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIAGNOSESDIAGNOSISDISABILITYDISADVANTAGED GROUPSDISEASE BURDENDISEASESEARTHQUAKEECONOMIC CHANGESECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC STATUSEDUCATED ADULTSEDUCATED GROUPSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEPIDEMIOLOGYEXHAUSTIONEXPENDITURESFAMILIESFATIGUEFEMALEFEMALESGENDERHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SERVICE PROVIDERSHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH CARE UTILIZATIONHEALTH IMPACTSHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH RESEARCHHEALTH STATUSHOUSEHOLD SIZEHUMAN RESOURCESHUMAN WELFAREINCOMEINDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICSINDIVIDUAL WELFAREINJURYLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR SUPPLYLIVING STANDARDSMEDICINEMENTALMENTAL DISORDERSMENTAL HEALTHMENTAL ILLNESSMENTAL ILLNESSESMIGRATIONMORBIDITYNATIONAL POPULATIONNATURAL DISASTEROLDER ADULTSOWNERSHIP OF LANDPAINSPATIENTPHYSICAL HEALTHPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLITICAL TURMOILPOOR HEALTHPOSTCONFLICT SETTINGSPREVALENCEPROBABILITYPROGRESSPSYCHIATRIC DISORDERPSYCHIATRIC DISORDERSPSYCHIATRIC ILLNESSPSYCHIATRISTSPSYCHIATRYPSYCHOPATHOLOGYQUALITY OF LIFERELIGIOUS GROUPSRESEARCH COMMUNITYRISK FACTORSRURAL AREASRURAL RESIDENTSSCHIZOPHRENIASCREENINGSERVICE PROVIDERSSLEEPSOCIAL CHANGESOCIAL CONSEQUENCESSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIOECONOMIC STATUSSTRESSESSUBSTANCE ABUSESYMPTOMSYMPTOMST.V.TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDERURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBANIZATIONVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSWORKERSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-4386
