Rudaw Media recently carried out a media interview featuring our research on the psychological consequences of trauma among Yazidi survivors, as well as the wider mental health challenges faced within their communities.

These difficulties include post-traumatic stress reactions (PTSD and CPTSD), depression, and ongoing emotional problems persisting long after the traumatic events they experienced.
