How does trauma experienced during war affect the mental health of refugees and immigrants in urban cities?

Lary Zanneli

When people experience bad things, it can make them very sad and scared. This is called trauma. During war, many people experience a lot of trauma. Refugees and immigrants are people who had to leave their homes because of war or other bad things.

When refugees and immigrants come to live in cities, they can still be very sad and scared because of what happened to them during the war. This can make it hard for them to feel happy and safe in their new homes.

Their mental health can be affected, which means that they can feel sad or anxious a lot. Sometimes they can have nightmares or feel very scared for no reason. This can make it hard for them to do normal things like go to school or work.

Luckily, there are people who can help. Doctors and other professionals can talk to refugees and immigrants about what they experienced during the war. This can help them feel better and get over their trauma.

We can also do our part by being kind and understanding to refugees and immigrants. We can treat them as we would want to be treated and show them that they are not alone. Together, we can help them heal.
