This article presents information related to mental health professionals who are working in the territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and are helping to care for people who have endured the stress of living under Israeli occupation for decades. Because of the stress, the levels of anxiety disorders are high: one study reported that 10 per cent of the population suffered from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); 12 per cent for anxiety disorders; 5 per cent met criteria for DSM-IV mood disorder. The mental health services in Palestine are underdeveloped and fragmentary. The only inpatient resource for the West Bank is Bethlehem Hospital that has approximately 200 beds. |
