Abstract
Despite a spectacular increase of international travels, related psychiatric problems remain understudied. Travelling is a stressing factor that may trigger or aggravate mood disorders, anxiety disorders or substance related problems. Expatriates are especially at elevated risk for adaptation problems due to the length of their stays abroad. Some destinations with strong symbolic or mystical connotations are associated with acute psychotic episodes. Anticipating changes and being prepared to face new solicitations to come allows to reduce risks for mental health while travelling.
