Doctors in the countries that border Ukraine say that mental health is the most often reported medical problem among refugees.
Experts stress the importance of stability and structure from adult or parental figures in the lives of these children.Since the war in Ukraine began, more than 3 million refugees have fled -- by bus, train, car and foot -- for neighboring countries. Some have destinations in mind, while others have no plan.
Russia launched its full invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, exposing its citizens to death and destruction, as well as disruption to basic needs."It's clearly a nation under stress," Dr. Dan Schnorr, an emergency medicine physician with Doctors Without Borders, told ABC News."Every child in [Ukraine] is now experiencing multiple adverse childhood events, and that is one of the uncounted casualties that will ripple throughout generations.
According to Katz, the risk of developing lasting effects of acute stress disorder increases depending on the extent of exposure to a traumatic event, prior trauma that was not well addressed previously, a history of psychiatric disorders and not having social support.
