More than 40% of Syrian refugees in the Netherlands have
psychological problems such as depression and anxiety. This was found in a study by the social and
cultural planning office, SCP. Despite these
problems they make little use of mental health services. The SCP interviewed 44,000 refugees who were
given refugee status in the Netherlands between January 2014 and July 2016. The SCP says that 13% of the general population
in the Netherlands have mental health issues.
Yet, Syrian refugees make much less use of mental health services than
the general population.
