Article Synopsis
- Armed conflicts lead to significant challenges in mental health care due to depleted resources and infrastructure destruction, impacting vulnerable populations disproportionately.
- The study aims to explore how individual vulnerability factors influence the relationship between conflict-related trauma and mental health, as well as the challenges in accessing mental health services in these contexts.
- Key findings highlight that violence increases the prevalence of mental health issues like PTSD, depression, and anxiety, with factors such as stigmatization, gender, and access to care affecting this relationship.
