’They think I’m crazy’: Syrians struggle with their mental health in Lebanon’s lockdown - Al khaleej today
Since Lebanon’s lockdown began, Mohammed, 16, has had little else to do than string beads onto bracelets all day, a skill he learned in prison in Syria.
He suffers from post traumatic stress disorder since he spent seven months in a government prison in Damascus, and already had a strained relationship with his family before confinement measures were announced in mid-March to curb the coronavirus pandemic.
After a few tense days of living with 10 other people in one tent in the dusty Lebanese border town of Arsal, Mohammed’s father decided that it was best that his troubled son live alone in a separate tent.
