The disaster had a profound psychological impact on those affected from "summary" of Chernobyl by Serhii Plokhy

The Chernobyl disaster not only had devastating physical effects but also left behind deep psychological scars on those who were affected. The survivors of the disaster experienced a range of emotions, from fear and anxiety to grief and guilt. The sudden and unexpected nature of the explosion left many feeling helpless and vulnerable, unsure of what the future held for them and their families. The psychological impact of the disaster extended beyond the immediate aftermath, with many survivors experiencing long-term mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. The constant fear of radiation exposure and the uncertainty surrounding the long-term health effects of the disaster took a heavy toll on the mental well-being of those affected. The psychological trauma of the disaster was compounded by the response of the authorities, who downplayed the severity of the situation and failed to provide adequate support and information to those affected. This lack of transparency and communication only served to heighten the anxiety and fear experienced by survivors, leaving many feeling abandoned and isolated in their suffering. The psychological impact of the Chernobyl disaster was not limited to those directly affected by the explosion. The wider community, including rescue workers, cleanup crews, and residents of nearby towns and cities, also experienced significant psychological distress as a result of the disaster. The collective trauma of the event reverberated throughout society, leaving a lasting legacy of fear and mistrust in its wake.
