Abstract

A geographical relocation of people for a permanent or temporary duration in order to spend all or part of their future lives is characterized as migration. War, ethnic or religious conflicts, political pressure, inequities, unemployment rates, poverty, hope for improved living standards, familial reasons, proximity to health care services, climate, and natural catastrophes are all factors that might lead to migration. People who have changed their environment owing to migration experience post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, depression disorder, schizophrenia and related disorders, culture shock, handicap, abuse, and suicidal ideation/attempt, especially among migrating women and children. Immigrants' mental difficulties are treated with psychosocial intervention methods such as individual/group trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative exposure therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). However, the number of evidence-based psychological intervention programs for immigrants must be increased. The goal of this review is to look at the research that indicates immigrant mental problems.
