Abstract

The article presents a case of a 34-year old married Syrian woman who came to the mental health clinic of Oregon Muslim Medical Association for symptoms of depression. It discusses the struggle experienced by the woman since immigrating to the U.S. and navigating a new country, culture, and language. Particular focus is given to an approach to refugee trauma that helped the patient, along with the crucial needs of refugees that it aims to address.
