The authors of the study from the University of Münster found that the mood of those surveyed had deteriorated regardless of age, gender or political orientation. It was published in the specialist magazine “Nature Communications”. People in Europe were surveyed in the two months surrounding the outbreak of war on February 24, 2022.
According to the information, the data used comes from a project that surveyed the well-being of people worldwide during the corona pandemic. It turned out that mental health suffered much more from the Ukraine war than from Corona or the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.
