Summary/Abstract: The present work throws light upon a complicated matter: the social and psychological condition of the Romanian women who choose the way of migration for taking care of old persons in order to bring a solution to their financial difficulties. But, which is the tribute of choosing this way?! It seems that the most fragile people will pay with their own mental health. This is what the subjects of the present study call it the Syndrome of Italy.
