The Symptom Checklist-90-Revised ‎(SCL-90-R) and a Personal information questionnaire were used to collect data. RESULTS: The analytical statistics from the mean total score of discomfort in the respondents in Bam and Kerman were compared separately in the 9 dimensions. According to the results presented in tables and charts, of the 9 dimensions of symptoms, obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, violence, phobia, and psychosis were significantly higher in Bam compared to Kerman. Moreover, only the dimension of paranoia was not significant in the respondents in both cities. Furthermore, based on the comparisons, there was a ‎significant difference in the mean discomfort, total ‎Global Severity Index (GSI), and Positive Symptoms ‎Total (PST) between the two cities.
