The Middle East could be staring at a “lost generation” as mental illness, suicide rates rise -study

Mental illness, suicide, and violence across the Middle East are creating a “lost generation,” a scientific study from the University of Washington suggests. Ali Mokdad, the study’s lead author, says “intractable and endemic violence is creating a lost generation of children and young adults… The future of the Middle East is grim unless we can find a way to bring stability to the region,” according to EurekAlert. “In addition to violence in the region, there has been a seroquelinfo.com in non-communicable diseases and mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.” Mokdad adds that “many of the health gains for some countries have slowed and several health conditions that were under control are re-emerging…This study clearly indicates that the future health of the region is in danger.”
