Abstract
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) released a statement on Oct. 11 condemning the recent terrorist attacks in Israel. “Innocent civilians should never have to endure the violence and chaos that happened last weekend,” the APA stated in a news release. “APA sends our support to all those affected in Israel and around the world. We mourn those who were lost and call for the immediate return of all hostages to their families. The scale of this terrorist act and the harm it is causing is unfathomable. Antisemitism and all forms of prejudice and hatred are unacceptable, and we stand with the Jewish people, now and as always. The brutalities of Hamas must end. It is our firm hope that one day we can see peace between the Israelis and Palestinians and an end to the violence in the Middle East. For those directly impacted, and for those deeply impacted around the world, know that these horrifying events may affect your mental health.” Resources are available at: https://www.psychiatry.org/patients‐families/coping‐after‐disaster‐trauma.
