Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine caused a massive humanitarian catastrophe that triggered a rapid escalation of the mental health crisis among Ukrainians. In 2024, mental health problems are highly prevalent among Ukrainian citizens who suffer from constant missile attacks and shelling, have experienced the death of loved ones, lost their homes and become IDPs [1]. The population of every country affected by military operations faces a sharp increase in the number of mental disorders [2; 3; 4]. Victims and survivors of military conflicts often suffer from trauma and mental disorders such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety disorders, which have a devastating impact on their physical health and well-being.
