The Mental Health Crisis in Afghanistan

Louis Lingg writes: "The US State Department has posted a World Health Organization report on the mental health crisis in Afghanistan.

An excerpt: "
Twenty-three years of war have ravaged the mental health and
psychosocial functioning of the people in Afghanistan. Killing,
executions, massive persecution, forced internal displacement, fear
associated with living in mined areas, and the latest escalation of
violence have left an indelible mark on the population. In addition,
the psychological impact of living in uncertainty affects at least
three million Afghan refugees.""
