The Trauma of Facing Deportation - The New Yorker
In Sweden, hundreds of refugee children have fallen unconscious after
being informed that their families will be expelled from the country.

Uppgivenhetssyndrom, or resignation
syndrome, is said to exist only in Sweden, and only among refugees. The
patients seem to have lost the will to live. “They are like Snow White,”
a doctor said. “They just fall away from the world.”Photograph by Magnus Wennman for The New Yorker
