Resignation syndrome

Resignation Syndrome is a condition that affects some people who are refugees or immigrants. It's a way for someone to cope with a very serious and intense amount of stress that they are feeling because of their difficult situation. People with Resignation Syndrome may suddenly become very ill and there is no one medical reason for why this could happen. They can become very weak and withdrawn, not want to talk or make contact with other people, and have difficulty engaging in their day-to-day activities. Sometimes people with this condition may even seem like they have lost their will to live. This can be scary but luckily there is help available. People with Resignation Syndrome can get the care they need and start to feel better.
