Abstract

The article focuses on the integration of evolutionary medicine into bioastronautics to address mental health challenges faced by astronauts during long-term space missions. Researchers from Cihan University-Erbil highlight the need to understand how evolutionary principles can explain the mental health risks associated with space environments, both short-term and long-term. The study aims to identify evolutionary mismatches between terrestrial and space conditions that affect astronauts' mental well-being and proposes therapeutic countermeasures based on these principles. The findings are intended to enhance medical knowledge and improve mental health support for astronauts and future space colonists. [Extracted from the article]
