War Psychiatry

War psychiatry is a specialized field that focuses on understanding and treating the mental health effects experienced by individuals affected by war, including soldiers, refugees, and civilians. It addresses conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and trauma-related issues caused by exposure to violence, loss, and extreme stress. Practitioners work to provide psychological support, crisis intervention, and therapy to help individuals cope, recover, and rebuild their mental well-being amidst the chaos and disruptions of war. The goal is to mitigate long-term psychological damage and promote resilience in affected populations.
