The impact of the Gulf War on the mental health of schizophrenic patients.
The Gulf War, which took place during January-February 1991, strongly affected the lives of Israeli civilians. The missiles that landed on the home front were a threat to the entire civilian population, thus differentiating the Gulf War from prior Israeli wars (Danon and Shemer 1991). This was similar to the London blitz during World War II (Scoville 1942).
