    BACKGROUND Ethnic conflict in Manipur, India, has led to the internal displacement of thousands of individuals, many of whom are now living in relief camps under challenging conditions. Displacement not only disrupts social and economic stability but also exposes individuals to a range of psychological stressors. Previous studies have consistently shown that displaced populations are at increased risk for mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, stress, and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, there remains a gap in research specifically focused on the mental health status of displaced populations within Manipur. Understanding the mental health burden among this vulnerable group is crucial for informing policy and guiding mental health service delivery. This study aims to provide empirical data on the psychological well-being of individuals residing in relief camps and to identify the prevalence and severity of mental health symptoms in this context. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Aims - To investigate the mental health of participants residing in relief camps due to ethnic conflict in Manipur, India. Objectives - To evaluate the mental status (depression, anxiety, stress and PTSD) of participants residing in relief camps. METHODS Participants: N = 221 internally displaced individuals residing in relief camps in Manipur. Design: This study employed a cross-sectional survey design. Assessments: Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist – Civilian Version Intervention: No intervention was implemented during the study. However, the findings are intended to inform future intervention planning. RESULTS The results revealed critically high levels of psychological distress among participants. Approximately 71.1% showed severe or extremely severe depression, 93.3% reported extremely severe anxiety, and 76% experienced severe or extremely severe stress. In addition, 65.6% of participants screened positive for post-traumatic stress disorder. Access to healthcare was rated as poor or very poor by over 95% of respondents. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights a mental health crisis among individuals in relief camps. The findings emphasize the need for immediate psychological support and improved healthcare access for displaced populations in conflict-affected areas.
