Nouakchott - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there any particular mental health issues that tend to crop up at post, such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (winter blues)?

Nothing that would seem out of the ordinary. It is a fairly isolated country but the community is very connected and supportive. There are also short flights to the Canary Islands (1.5hrs) if you need to get yourself a mental break from Nouakchott. - Jan 2023
