Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the war in Israel has affected physical and mental health among 50 endometriosis patients at Sheba Medical Center through a questionnaire-based approach.
- Results showed a significant decline in both physical (pain scores increased) and mental health after the war began, with more severe effects observed in those with family involvement in the conflict.
- Starting new anti-anxiety or antidepressant medications and engaging in psychological therapy helped protect against the negative health impacts, emphasizing the need for early mental health interventions during crises.
