The impact of wartime conflict on the mental health problems of women in the conflict-hit population in Woldia, Ethiopia
The findings from Woldia reveal a severe mental health crisis among women post-conflict, with elevated levels of depression, anxiety, and PTSD far exceeding global averages. This crisis jeopardizes the well-being of women and has far-reaching implications for families and communities, necessitating an urgent and multi-dimensional approach to address risk and protective factors identified in the study.
