Many Syrian civilian refugees living in Jordan suffer from PTSD. Male participants were found to be more affected by the severity of the disorder. Pharmacists are suitably situated to identify civilian Syrian refugees suffering from PTSD in dire need of help, paving the way for much needed healthcare resources to be delivered to this particular group of refugees.
