Despite new legislation, survivors continue to face societal stigma and slow government recognition of PTSD and trauma
Fourteen years after the 2010 sinking of the ROKS Cheonan, survivors continue to struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mental health issues. These struggles reveal a deeper problem: the inadequate support provided to South Korean veterans who experience trauma.
Despite the high-profile nature of the incident, where a North Korean torpedo sank the corvette killing 46 sailors and leaving 58 survivors, little meaningful aid has been extended to those directly affected.
