Seoul - 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)?
The base situation, in my opinion, is a downward force on morale, there's no getting around that, so I'd say that's the biggest mental health challenge here. I feel that singles and anyone who doesn't speak Korean can feel very isolated, even within the embassy community which has a high percentage of Korean-Americans and officers married to Koreans. - Nov 2021
In my opinion: BaseLifeSucks Syndrome, especially among single people. - Feb 2020
