TL;DR: The study found that the process of psychotropic drug supply chain management is similar to other general drugs, with the exceptions of strict pre-approval process, quantity restriction (for production and import), and mandatory record keeping.

TL;DR: The consequences of terrorism, wars and natural disasters are a challenge to the psychiatric profession as the large numbers of people estimated to have mental health problems surpass the capacities of existing mental health services, whether modern or traditional.

TL;DR: Two types of coping (namely capacity of both greater positive reinterpretation and lower behavioural disengagement) most strongly predicted growth after trauma in this sample of CRSV survivors from BiH, confirming the role of coping strategies in the development of PTG.

TL;DR: The results imply that to curb post-disaster depression, boosting community level social capital may be an important starting point for building resilience.

TL;DR: Key recommendations emerging from this study for improving mental health services in primary care include the provision of a separate cadre of psychosocial workers to provide psychological interventions, developing quick and efficient mechanisms for the procurement and supply of psychotropic medicines, establishing a confidential place within health facilities for consultation, and further training of health workers to reduce stigma.
