摘要
The migration process is a dynamic process including a number of changes and losses. The migrant shows various mental and somatic symptoms due to migration-related stress. These symptoms can be a "natural reaction" to all these changes. This presentation aims at showing the clinical picture of migration-related stress observed on migrants after their arrival to the new country and under 3 years. To define the psychosomatic manifestations due to stress from the pathological symptoms is an important and difficult task, but it is necessary to reduce the risk of over- or underdiagnosing the client's problem, as well as to choose the correct treatment strategy to promote better and quicker integration.
