Reisen können mit erhöhten psychischen Belastungen und Stress verbunden sein. Möglicherweise verschlimmern sich bei prädisponierten Personen bestehende psychotische Störungen oder es können sich bisher unbekannte Krankheitssymptome entwickeln. In der reisemedizinischen Beratung sollten Kenntnisse über die wesentlichen Zusammenhänge psychotischer Krankheitsbilder und die Möglichkeit der Prävention psychotischer Schübe vorhanden sein.

Travel can be associated with increased psychological stress. Pre–existing disturbances may worsen or new psychiatric diseases symptoms may develop in vulnerable persons. Consultations in travel medicine should be aware of the connections between increased strain and the development of psychiatric disorders and the potential of prevention of psychotic incidents.
