Abstract
The high prevalence of PTSD and depression among refugees represents a significant public health concern for a growing portion of the population of developed countries. These neurological implications vary in severity and are often caused by a multitude of factors before, during, and after migration that compound upon one another to cause mental health issues that may prevent a refugee from successfully integrating into their new host country. The prevalence of PTSD and depression varies among groups of refugees, and these kinds of mental health issues generally occur more often among women and children. Post-migrational trauma and challenges upon arrival in a new country can contribute to the severity of these neurological implications of migration, but they can be mitigated by various types of social support provided to them by the government, the immigrant community, medical and mental health resources, and refugee resettlement agencies.
