Anxiety and mood disorders in forcibly displaced people across the world.

Purpose Of Review: Displaced persons around the world have intensified in the previous decade and are predicted to rise further with greater global instability. The mental health issues involved with fleeing one's home, and attempting to make a new life in a host country need to be understood and addressed.

Recent Findings: Prevalence of anxiety and mood disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder appear to be higher for displaced peoples than for the population in the host country.
