The emotional well-being of journalists exposed to traumatic events
This article presents a mapping review of the available literature on the emotional well-being of journalists exposed to traumatic events. The review consists of three parts: (a) a summary of the results of trauma-related literature; (b) identification of the limitations of studies to date; and (c) suggestions for future research. The overview of the reviewed studies is provided as a table
Psychological distress in Afghan journalists
Purpose Afghanistan is one of the world’s most dangerous places for journalists. There are, however, no data on the mental health of Afghan journalists covering conflict in their country.

Civil War in Syria

They are, however, able to take breaks from the hazards of frontline work by periodically leaving conflict zones for the safety of home. This respite is not afforded local journalists who cover conflict situations. An example of this may be found in Mexico where journalists reporting on the drug cartels may under threat. This inability to seek temporar…

Evaluating the Use of a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit

Methods: Clinical and demographic data were collected on consecutive admission to a PICU. Global Assessment of Function Scale scores were rated on admission and at discharge from the unit. Results: The majority of pati…

The high rate of reported suicide among the farmer population perhaps warrants a ‘ ‘high risk&dquo; status to be accorded to this population. Systematic studies to quantify the actual morbidity of psychological illnesses and psychological autopsy studies of cases of suicide to identify the final train of events are needed. Studies also need to address perc…
