People living in war zones are exposed to numerous stressors, including physical harm, psychological trauma, loss, deprivation, bereavement, or abuse. In recent years, there has been growing acceptance that war-related stressors have the potential to pose a risk to health. Epidemiological studies also reveal the health consequences associated with war and trauma and agree that post-traumatic stress disorder and depression are common in war-affected populations. Since the turn of the last century, there have also been changes in the conception of war. Nowadays, wars have evolved into a new form that can affect larger masses, instead of hand-to-hand combat with cannons and rifles. War is an artificial disaster and differs from the kind of natural pandemic disaster that affects the whole world. Countless deaths forced abandonment of homes, families, friends, and property, and severe anxiety about war are experienced because of the war-related conditions for millions of humans.
