The Level of Anxiety and Depression Among Internally Displaced People

The present book was designed to investigate the impact of psychological problems such as anxiety and depression among the people who had been internally displaced from other parts of Iraq and inhabited mostly in Kurdistan Region of Iraq in (2012-2015) due to some constant attacks from a group of terrorists named ISIS. The present study sampled male and female immigrants who inhabit in the refugee camps in Kurdistan region. 173 participants, (90 female and 83 male) were selected from two camps (Chamisko and Domiz), and the same displaced people from Zakho and Dohuk, participated in this study. The participants were divided into two groups (87 displaced people and 86 non-displaced one). A quantitative research method was utilised to collect data. The participants were administered with a personal information questionnaire prepared by the researcher and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) questionnaire developed by Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995.
