Coping with trauma in Lebanon, when the war never really ends

Mia Atoui, a licensed psychologist and co-founder of Embrace Lebanon, an NGO that offers mental health counselling and operates the country’s only suicide hotline, says that, “from a mental health perspective, the situation is dire, with many people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss.”

She says studies suggest PTSD is widespread in Lebanon, although agrees with Saad that the CTSD term “may resonate more in the Lebanese context”.
