Mental health of migrants with pre-migration exposure to armed conflict: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The Lancet Public Health | Article | April 2022

Exposure to armed conflict has been associated with negative mental health consequences. Authors of this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of generalised anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder among migrants exposed to armed conflict.
The study finds out that migrants who are exposed to armed conflict are at high risk of mental health disorders. The mental health-care needs of migrants should be assessed soon after resettlement, and adequate care should be provided, with particular attention paid to young adults.
