| The 2010 earthquake in Haiti, followed by an outbreak of cholera, violence and floods, have left tens of thousands with mental health problems. The most common problems are delusional and bipolar disorders, schizophrenia and drug-related mental illnesses. Doctors say almost all of these problems are related to the earthquake.
