Opis

Jordanian society is not yet ready to give recognition to the legitimacy of PTSD as an illness. One of the main barriers to recognition of this condition is the population's attitude to mental illness. Mental illness is still generally regarded as something to be feared and therefore, people with a mental illness are in the main marginalised by society. Therefore, any form of community education or raising public awareness of PTSD must be approached in a sensitive and gradual manner.
