It is painful to lose the native country. Nevertheless it is more painful to understand that you are a refugee, a lonely person, hardly joining a new environment. The adaptation sharpens the psychological condition of the foreigners granted asylum in Lithuania, who participated in the repressions, the military actions, had to starve or had fears. It causes the symptoms of the psychological crisis.

Symptoms of the crisis:

• sleeplessness;
• psychosomatic derangement;
• concentration problems;
• feeling lonely;
• various depression;
• lack of self-confidence;
• compunction (feeling guilty);
• mood-swings;
• irritability;
• not motivated aggression

A lot of the refugees experienced military actions in their native country. The consequence of this painful experience is past traumatic psycho disorder.

The inhabitants of the Refugees Reception Center, who suffer from the psychological crisis or the past traumatic psycho disorder, are welcome in the room of the psychological consulting.
