Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Refugees

Abstract: The number of refugees and internally displaced people in 2022 is the largest since World War II, and meta-analyses demonstrate that these people experience elevated rates of mental health problems. This review focuses on the role of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in refugee mental health and includes current knowledge of the prevalence of PTSD, risk factors, and apparent differences that exist between PTSD in refugee populations and PTSD in other populations. An emerging literature on understanding mech… Show more

“…In clinical practice, psychotic manifestations of PTSD are mainly auditory and visual hallucinations stemming from ideas of persecution that are often linked to traumatic events. It may be difficult to distinguish these clinical features of PTSD-SP from the psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder with psychotic symptoms in which hallucinations are frequent, especially for clinicians who are not familiar with PTSD-SP in refugee populations 73 . The chronology of symptoms is important because the traumatic event and the development of PTSD should precede the manifestation of psychotic symptoms.…”

“…Спираючись на деякі дослідження, можна визначити поширеність ПТСР, яка складає 3,9 % у загальній вибірці [27]. Водночас привертає увагу наявність у науковому інформаційному просто-рі достатньої кількості абсолютно різних даних щодо кількісної оцінки розповсюдженості ПТСР: майже від 1 до 99 % [26,27]. Така різноманітність зумовлена різними методологічними підходами у дослідженнях до оцінки розповсюдженості ПТСР, включаючи розмір, методи, принципи формування вибірки, часові рамки дослідження, територіальні відмінності у розповсюдженості ПТСР, використання показників самозвітів або структурованих клінічних інтерв'ю та різних критеріїв діагностики ПТСР [26,30].…”
