Results : Neurosis patients including depression and anxiety disorder had significant differences in despair (t=-3.50, p＜.001), irritability (t=-2.42, p＜.05), anxiety (t=-2.32, p＜.05), anger (t=-2.66, p＜.05), somatic symptom (t=-3.83, p＜.001), insomnia (t=-3.87, p＜.001) compared to psychosis patients after indirect exposure by all day broadcasting about the sinking disaster. Among neurosis group, depression patients showed more significant differences in anxiety (t=2.41, p＜.05), somatic symptom (t=3.88, p＜.001) and loss of appetite (t=2.06, p＜.05) compared to anxiety disorder patients.
