Mental health in Palestine

The mental health of Palestinians has been described as among the worst in the world,^[1] with over half of Palestinian adults meeting the diagnostic threshold for depression^[2] and a significant portion of Palestinian children experiencing mental distress, particularly in Gaza.^[3] This high prevalence of mental distress among the Palestinian population has been attributed to the intersection of a number of factors, including exposure to conflict, poor living conditions and restrictions on movement.^[4]
