N2  - Armenia has been in a conflict with its neighbor, Azerbaijan, since 1988. Civilians in Tavush Province are regularly affected by ceasefire violations along the armed  border with recent escalations further threatening the population's safety. In the  midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns regarding the mental health of border  village residents in Armenia are prevalent. We present context-related factors of  psychiatric illness, the prevalence of mental health disorders, and the state of  mental health services in Armenia. We recommend directing greater attention towards  the mental health status of civilians residing in conflict zones during the ongoing  COVID-19 pandemic.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
