Description
No, it’s not an eye exam. It’s EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
It’s a style of therapy that helps patients process traumatic memories and alleviate symptoms of PTSD. And it’s one of the ways MSF teams in Ukraine are helping patients at our mental health clinic in Vinnytsia.
Four years of full-scale war in Ukraine have exposed millions of people to repeated traumatic events, prolonged uncertainty, displacement, bereavement, and chronic stress. The cost of this war is more than physical, and MSF is working to ensure that no one is forced to cope in silence. EMDR is just one way of the many ways we’re doing that. #ukraine #mentalhealth #doctorswithoutborders
