Research shows that the prevalence of probable PTSD is markedly higher in individuals from war-exposed regions compared to those in war-unexposed areas. A comprehensive analysis reveals that approximately 30% of individuals from regions affected by war are likely to experience probable PTSD. This contrast is significant, as it emphasizes the profound impact of exposure to conflict and violence on mental health. In contrast, in regions not directly affected by war, the prevalence is substantially lower, estimated at around 8%.
