War's economic toll linked to declining mental health
Original: When war hits the wallet, mental health can suffer too
New reporting highlights how the financial strain of war — rising prices, lost income and economic instability — takes a measurable toll on mental health alongside its physical and humanitarian costs. Experts point to growing psychological distress among civilians whose livelihoods are upended by conflict, warning that economic hardship can compound anxiety, depression and trauma in war-affected populations.
Why now: Ongoing conflicts and rising living costs have focused attention on the mental health consequences of wartime economic hardship.
