abstract="Research has shown that man-made disasters effect people more severely than natural disasters. Females are affected more severely as compared to males in disasters. The most prominent effects are low well-being and high post traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]. To compare the differences in well-being and PTSD among adults exposed to natural and man-made disasters. This cross-sectional survey was conducted on 150 young adults exposed to flood in Punjab [50], terrorism in KPK [50] and suicide bombing [terrorism] in Islamabad [50]. Adults exposed to natural disaster like flood scored significantly higher on well-being as compared to adults exposed to man-made disaster like terrorism and suicide bombing. Post-traumatic stress disorder was more in terrorism exposed adults as compared to flood exposed adults. Within gender, females adapted better to man-made disasters. Adults exposed to natural disaster adapt better than those exposed to man-made disaster and females adapt to man-made disasters better than men<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
