Specifically, adolescents and adults often experience feelings of helplessness due to their perceived limitations in accessing education, employment, and economic opportunities. This study employs a quantitative methodology with a cross-sectional design aimed at preventing the onset of psychological disorders among individuals residing in the industrially affected regions.
