The impact of mental health has been documented for infectious diseases such as SARS-CoV-19, and  H1N1 pandemics with a focus on health workforce. However, there is a paucity of information about the long-term mental health impact of Ebola virus disease (EVD) on survivors and family members, who met the criteria of a traumatic disease event set out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders version IV (DSM IV). Mental health has also been documented to trigger traumatic events among survivors. We described the prevalence and correlates of depression among adult EVD survivors in North Kivu province.
