A review on mental health challenges and interventions in the context of pandemics, terrorism, war and armed conflicts.
Review in Discover mental health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis review explores how pandemics, terrorism, war, and armed conflicts affect mental health. The aim of this study is to understand the contributing factors for increased global mental health problems and assess the interventions for better mental health outcomes.
methodsWe searched PubMed using the terms (“war” OR “terrorism” OR “armed conflicts”) AND (“mental health” OR “psychiatry”), published from the inception to June 30, 2024, without language restrictions.
resultsThe pandemic, terrorism, war, and armed conflicts have impacted the mental health of the global population over a long time, and accordingly, prevalence of mental disorders are high among all age groups. Consequently depression, anxiety, and stress are prevalent among vulnerable communities. The policymakers and healthcare authorities have introduced and implemented initiatives, such as telehealth services, crisis hotlines, and community-based mental health programs for susceptible populations. The increased prevalence of mental health illnesses across the world highlights that a complete multi-faceted solution is needed. Incorporating mental health in public health policies, strengthening community-based and psychological support, expanding telehealth services, and channeling more funding to mental health programs would be successful strategies. Sustained community support networks, culturally appropriate skills, outreach programs, and broader public awareness initiatives are needed to help towards a long-term mental health recovery.
conclusionPolicymakers and researchers globally work together to identify ways forward in tackling these barriers, focusing on addressing social determinants of mental health, providing resilience promotion, and ensuring equity access to mental health services.
