Resumen

El Síndrome de Resignación es un trastorno caracterizado por un proceso gradual de abandono conducente a la catatonia que suele requerir de alimentación nasogástrica. Este síndrome afecta mayoritariamente a chicas de ciertas minorías étnicas de entre 7 y 15 años en proceso de solicitud de asilo y presenta comorbilidad con episodios depresivos y trastorno de estrés postraumático. El Síndrome de Resignación presenta un índice de recuperación total del 78%, parcial del 16% y una mortalidad del 1% y las secuelas se concretan en amnesias retrógradas y cronicidad de cuadros ansiosos o depresivos. Su abordaje terapéutico es doble: la terapia sistémica complementada con medicina integrativa y la terapia farmacológica. La presente revisión teórica concluye la escasez de investigaciones en curso sobre un síndrome paradójicamente en alza en todo el mundo.
