ABSTRACT:
Migration significantly impacts mental health, with migrants facing stressors such as discrimination, trauma, and social isolation. This paper explores the mental health consequences of migration, highlighting the prevalence of disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety among migrants. It discusses challenges in accessing mental health services, including cultural barriers and lack of awareness. The paper emphasizes the need for integrated, culturally sensitive approaches to address migrants' mental health needs, advocating for increased access to services and improved mental health literacy. Additionally, it underscores the importance of migration health data in understanding and addressing migrants' health needs, proposing strategies to enhance data collection and management.
