A survey of 503 Israelis found high levels of anxiety and risk for depression, but only a small percentage of the sample received mental health care from a professional.

The IDF makes special efforts to identify, treat, and support soldiers with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive problems, including those with the most severe problems who receive support throughout their service. However, the abstracts do not provide specific data on the rates of mental illness in the IDF population.
What is the reason why there is a war in the israel?4 answersWar in Israel is a complex issue with multiple factors at play. One reason for the prevalence of war in the Hebrew Bible is the construction of a new national identity for Israel, which required the incorporation of memories of war. Additionally, the concept of holy war was deeply ingrained in the religious community of ancient Israel, with faith in Yahweh's saving acts being a key motivator for engaging in war. In more recent times, Israel's war experience has been characterized by a trigger-happy approach to the use of force and a dominance of the security establishment over foreign policy, leading to unnecessary or aggressive wars. It is important to note that not all wars in Israel were necessary, with many being wars of choice or folly. Overall, the reasons for war in Israel are multifaceted, encompassing historical, religious, and political factors.
