 IDRAAC and the Lebanon Wars 
In solidarity with our community which has  been deeply affected  by the recent war events that started in July 2006, the Department of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology at the St. George Hospital University Medical Center/Balamand University, Faculty of Medicine in association with IDRAAC has concentrated its efforts to help out on several fronts by offering free mental health consultations to individuals affected by these events and offering  expert opinion  through media.  At the request of the government, the Department and IDRAAC have prepared a proposal for a National Mental Health Action Plan. For more information about our research and work related to war, please visit the War and Mental Health and the Community activities sections.

 


 
 



IDRAAC’s research covers various topics in mental health such as temperament, the epidemiology of psychiatric disorders, the mental health consequences of war, alcohol and substance use and abuse, among many other topics.
