"The incidence of mental health conditions—particularly post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, and depression—is higher among people who are chronically exposed to violence. A shift in perception can be observed regarding how safe the world is and how people view their own lives."
"Someone suffering from cold, fear, or hunger has a much lower stress tolerance, and minor conflicts and disagreements in personal lives can escalate quickly. When basic needs aren't met, there are more frequent outbreaks of violence within the family. This takes a toll on social relationships which are actually the number one factor in resilience."
Iranians face severe mental health challenges due to multiple stressors: military attacks, government repression of protests, strict religious enforcement affecting daily life, and economic sanctions. Chronic exposure to violence increases incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, and depression. People under constant threat experience altered perceptions of safety and reduced stress tolerance. When basic needs like food, electricity, and communication are unmet, family violence increases and social relationships deteriorate. Social connections represent the primary factor in building resilience, making their erosion particularly damaging to mental health during prolonged crises.
