(Interviewer) What made you seek help?
Natalia : I had anxiety all the time. I was scared all the time, nervous breakdowns all the time.
Alina : I couldn’t take the bus or even go out.
Lidia : I always had these thoughts and panic attacks.
Inna : When I'm in my depression, I don't want to do anything, I don't want to speak and communicate, and this is not me. That's why I decided to look for such help and I’ve found it.

Following the full-scale war from February 2022, many people in Ukraine
have been suffering from mental health injuries.
In Vinnytsia, from September 2023, MSF started activities in a trauma centre providing psychological counselling for people experiencing war-related post-traumatic stress disorder, commonly called PTSD.

ITW Lilia Savchenko - MSF doctor at the trauma centre in Vinnytsia
Most of our patients are IDPs, people who have seen incredibly horrific events and survived them.  
All people who have experienced a traumatic event experience hopelessness, nightmares, detachment from people for some time, and these are normal, normal reactions to abnormal events.
But If these conditions continue for a long time, more than three to six months, then this is already an indication that the person has post-traumatic stress disorder, and then his or her condition will get worse every day.
TXT
In addition to the services provided at the centre, MSF teams work with partner organisations to conduct psycho-education sessions and identify people with PTSD symptoms. 
Christine Mwongera, MSF medical coordinator in Ukraine
We are now focusing a lot on partners or areas where we can engage with veterans, their families or relatives, because we know this is in among this population that we are going to find the most severe PTSD.

Alina, Natalia, Inna and Lidia have completed their treatment at the MSF centre.

Lidia : These thoughts used to haunt me, but I have learnt how to avoid them, not to think about them and how to live here and now.

Alina: I became calmer, I was no longer afraid of new things, new experiences, meeting new people.

Inna: Of course, sometimes it is difficult and we feel that we are not strong enough to do something, but we should try to do something good for ourselves.
