Mental Health and Collective Trauma among Yazidi Genocide Survivors
The Yazidi population has faced systematic persecution, culminating in the 2014 genocide by the so-called Islamic State (IS). This commentary focuses on the impact of collective trauma on Yazidi mental health, focusing on transgenerational trauma, gender-specific experiences, and culturally adapted therapeutic interventions.

The purpose of this paper is to reconsider the contents of Fujita (2019) and Fujita (2025)'s papers from the perspective of mental health.
