These studies showed that highly exposed populations were more vulnerable to develop long-lasting psychological disorders than less exposed populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The negative influence of experiencing volcanic activity on mental health was confirmed.
