💨 Abstract

Military tensions between India and Pakistan have triggered widespread anxiety and mental health concerns among civilians, particularly children. Seven-year-old Hazel in Kerala and 36-year-old Mahendra Awasthi in Delhi, among others, are experiencing fear and distress due to war talk and misinformation. Experts warn that constant media coverage and uncertainties can lead to vicarious trauma. They advise staying informed from credible sources, taking breaks from news, and communicating with children in age-appropriate ways.
