The traumatic events experienced by thousands of people in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 1992-1995 conflict may have a lasting effect on the mental health of the country, characterized by high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A diagnosis of PTSD among family physicians could affect their ability to diagnose and treat patients for depression, anxiety and PTSD.
