Psychological issues top war's health toll in new study
Original: Psychological issues emerge as No. 1 problem in study of war’s toll on health
A new study of the health consequences of war has found that psychological problems rank as the leading issue, ahead of physical injuries or other health impacts. The findings underline the scale of mental health damage, including trauma, anxiety and depression, among populations affected by armed conflict, and are drawing attention from health and humanitarian observers.
Why now: Ongoing wars are putting a spotlight on research into their long-term effects on civilians' health.
