Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in the Epicenter of the Boko Haram Insurgency: Prevalence and Psychosocial Correlates.
Sub-syndromic PTSD was experienced by over two-thirds of the study participants, while over 50% of them had CIDI-diagnosable and clinically matched PTSD based on the ICD-10 criteria. This study, therefore, recommends the need for the incorporation of mental health and psychosocial support and the prioritization of the mental health of populations exposed to any form of armed insurrection.
