The repercussions of watching scenes of the escalating conflict in Gaza strip on the mental health of adolescents in a neighboring country
The study unveiled a high prevalence rate of stress, depression, and anxiety among adolescents. This observation was positively associated with the frequency and intensity of media exposure to the conflict scenes in the area. Supportive initiatives and controlling exposure to media for adolescents in conflict zones have unequivocal value in ameliorating mental disorders.
