A new report from Zocalo Health clinic in Los Angeles reveals a mental health crisis among immigrant families due to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. - Over half of patients screened have severe anxiety, nearly three-quarters suffer depression, and 1 in 8 report suicidal thoughts.
- Patients feel helpless despite changing routines to avoid enforcement, with past traumas worsening. - Children in mixed-documentation families face chronic stress, with parental deportation linked to higher PTSD risk.
- The effects include physical symptoms like headaches and behavioral changes in children. The clinic continues to provide care through community health workers as families go into hiding.
