A recent study conducted by the University of Toronto examined the mental health of Iranian citizens who protested against their country's Morality Police. The research found that protestors who were blinded in one or both eyes during the protests showed less severe symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and depression compared to those with non-eye wounds. The study suggested that higher rates of psychological treatment and social support in the eye-wound group may have contributed to their better psychological well-being. This research has been peer-reviewed and offers valuable insights into the psychological impact of protesting in Iran. [Extracted from the article]
