In Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) psychologist Ihor Ohdanskyi and his team provide mental health care to people displaced by the conflict, war-wounded people, and care providers. These are all people who may be "suffering from different mental health problems and disorders related with stress of the war, and with witnessing violence," he says.

One year after the escalation of war in Ukraine, eight million people have fled as refugees and around five million are displaced inside the country. People who live in areas under attack face incredible hardships, often living without electricity, medicine, food, or clean water. Even in the west of the country, in areas of relative calm like Ivano-Frankivsk, “everyone is affected by the war,” Ohdanskyi says.
