Abstract :This article aims to review the literature to explore whether trauma is among the symptoms experienced by individuals exposed to mobbing. Mobbing, defined as repeated psychological harassment in the workplace, is a prolonged process rather than a single incident. Those subjected to mobbing often exhibit various physical and psychological symptoms. Numerous studies in the literature indicate that mobbing can lead to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Trauma, characterized by its sudden onset and life-threatening impact, significantly harms individuals. This review focuses on the psychological issues arising from PTSD due to mobbing, highlighting conditions such as depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, and PTSD itself. The loss of self-confidence and self-esteem observed in mobbing victims can exacerbate these issues, potentially leading to suicidal tendencies. Research findings indicate alarmingly high rates of these outcomes, underscoring the severe impact of mobbing on mental health.
