Refugees in Europe might suffer from PTSD?

Prove to me they don't, you can't disprove my point.

Between 50-57% of Syrian refugees experience PTSD

Prove they do, no one can prove or disprove that someone has a condition until they are professionally diagnosed which takes more than a month from the first session.

Secondly the majority of migrants coming to Europe aren't Syrian.

I have read quite a bit on here about how refugees from the Arabic, Asian and African countries are getting in trouble with the law for really harsh crimes.

I try to take a step back and usually don't comment on those stories, as I sometimes feel its exaggerated by the press as because lets face it, some don't want refugees in Europe/their country. And the news and media will reflect that, as well as their own prejudice.

There was the riots in Germany (like Cologne), and stories of serious crime and sexual assault in camps.

(p.s. I have no sympathy for rapists and sexual abusers) however I feel like violent outbursts like riots and stabbings are the effects of coming from war-torn countries.

When you have PTSD, which I think I may have (not war but personal trauma), you react emotionally and in a panic-stricken way to situations which are reminiscent of your trauma, and situations in general. I understand the poor conditions of camps could make them feel claustrophobic, hopeless and full of dread.

Do you think this is a reaction to what they have seen in war and society's racism toward them?

I just quoted you an academic piece with cited evidence of the rate of PTSD within refugee communities...but of course you wouldn't accept it for the sake of your argument.

you have to have PTSD to be diagnosed first, for at least a month, but Syria has been in civil war for longer than that.

and the majority of refugees are Syrian:

By the way derp your link shows that only just over a quarter of the migrants are Syrian and that's including the ones that have fake passports.

Such a fail

some of these refugees are straight up savages rofl. this guy must have the craziest PTSD known to man

over a quarter of how many nationalities, that makes them the majority nationality, no? How thick must you be...

you're so arrogant because you deny the truth even though its flat and plain, I've given you official statistics and studies, but you deny it just to prove a stance that was nothing in the first place.

Syrians are still not the majority of refugees,although they might be the largest nationality represented. There is a difference. Most refugees are not Syrian

Also, I noticed you did not respond to my post about how Bosnian refugees escaping from the war did not display the horrifying and disgusting behaviour that we are seeing now. This refugee crisis is not the first time western countries have taken in refugees

You haven't provided a realistic basis that there is around 190,000 people from Syria diagnosed with ptsd

the study that I posted said half of that. I guess it does not only refer to European refugees - since the figure was cited from the Eastern Mediterranean Public Health Health Network which is based in Jordan.

The paper written by a teaching intern (questionable credentials) cites EMPHNET, 2014

If you want to even be taken slightly seriously that 50-57% of Syrian migrants have PTSD you need to link that paper.

The over all number of Syrian migrants is over 360,000 according to your BBC link so even 50% is over 180,000.
