La Paz - 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)?
Sleep issues can sometimes affect peoples' mental health. There's not a ton to do in Zona Sur, so people who don't venture out sometimes go a little stir crazy. That being said morale currently seems decent at my mission. I think some challenges that people had before also had to do with COVID lockdowns and personnel issues that no longer apply. - Jan 2024
The altitude and isolation seems to affect most. Morale is not that great. - Aug 2022
Being from Miami, La Paz feels like the land of eternal winter. Temps hover in the 50s some days during the summer. That brings me down. Prolonged effects from altitude and multiple incidents of painful diarrhea and vomiting can take their toll. - Feb 2019
Nope. If anything, it's too sunny. - Sep 2016
