The purpose is to explore the consequences of war and its impact on mental health with attention to the Mediterranean area.
Narrative review of consequences of war on mental health and on the mental health of the communities in the current crises in the Mediterranean region.
A series of outbreaks of war are still raging in the Mediterranean region and producing horrible effects with a considerable number of refugees with unsatisfied needs. Studies relating to conflicts of the past suggest that the mental health consequences of these wars may affect future generations for many years. While violations of human rights are not new, what is new are attacks on medical institutions perceived to be traditionally Western.
The scientific community has to fight violence through mediation of conflicts. The idea that science can improve lives is a concept that is found in the history of all Mediterranean cultures. The Greek and Roman medical tradition was saved thanks to doctors of the Arab courts when Christian fundamentalism fought science in the Middle Ages. Health institutions are the product of the great Islamic medical tradition as well as Western culture.
目的是探讨战争的后果及其对地中海地区心理健康的影响。
对战争对心理健康的影响以及地中海地区当前危机中社区心理健康的影响进行叙述性综述。
地中海地区仍有一系列战争爆发，造成了可怕的影响，产生了大量需求未得到满足的难民。与过去冲突有关的研究表明，这些战争对心理健康的影响可能会影响未来几代人多年。虽然侵犯人权并不是什么新鲜事，但对被认为是传统西方的医疗机构的攻击却是前所未有的。
科学界必须通过调解冲突来打击暴力。科学可以改善生活的理念在所有地中海文化的历史中都有体现。当基督教原教旨主义在中世纪与科学作斗争时，阿拉伯宫廷的医生挽救了希腊和罗马的医学传统。医疗机构是伟大的伊斯兰医学传统和西方文化的产物。
