Johannesburg - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there any particular mental health issues that tend to crop up at post, such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (winter blues)?
Mental health is definitely a concern here, given the toxic environment and the overall isolation of a high-crime post. Even post-COVID, the curtailment rate seems very high for a post of this size. - Aug 2022
Mental health issues are exceedingly common. Communities here tend to be insular, so it's my understanding all have higher rates of inbreeding than you would expect from larger populations, and congenital diseases are common, including those affecting mental health. On the plus side, mental health issues are widely and openly discussed as a result. - Jun 2022
