TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Mental health and welfare of prisoners of war and people living in detention in the Ukrainian conflict JO - Lancet psychiatry A1 - Liebrenz, Michael A1 - Bhugra, Dinesh A1 - Buadze, Anna A1 - Schleifer, Roman A1 - Smith, Alexander A1 - van Voren, Robert SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - The Russian invasion of Ukraine has engendered profound suffering, with early reports of millions of refugees and thousands of casualties. Extensive literature has highlighted the psychological pathologies in the aftermath of warfare, and, as in all emergencies where human rights are often the first victim, proactively safeguarding vulnerable groups is critical. In the present crisis, civil authorities have understandably focused on protecting the general populace. However, we must not neglect the mental health care and welfare of prisoners of war (POWs), people living in detention, and psychiatric patients.
