The mental health scars of war in Lebanon: Fear, anger, depression
4 November, 2024 | NEWS
“This war has stripped people of two fundamental pillars of mental health: security and basic human needs. Right now, no one in Lebanon feels truly safe,” psychiatrist and board member of the NGO Embrace Lebanon, Myriam Zarzour, told EFE.
The psychiatrist from Embrace Lebanon recalls that “Lebanon was already in the midst of a mental health crisis even before this war”, in which more than 2,700 people have died and more than 12,500 have been injured since the outbreak in October 2023, and which “is adding another layer of acute trauma to the already vulnerable population”.
