Risk of psychosis higher among refugees: Study
Who says that a war zone creates a mental impact only on the military personnel? It has devastating effects on all those people who have to flee their own country due to wars. A recent study by the Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, and the University College London (UCL) found that the risk of schizophrenia and other psychoses are three times higher in refugees. The study was published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) in March 2016.
