Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy, 2020•psycnet.apa.org
A survey of 503 Israelis, performed in April 2020, found high levels of anxiety and risk for
depression; these mental health issues were associated with several stressors connected
with the coronavirus and related policies. However, only a small percentage of the sample
received mental health care from a professional, with native-born Israelis less likely than

are suggested.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
