Introduction

The problem of emigration and re-emigration in Ukraine is among the most actual state and social problems.

Objectives

To research clinical-psychopathological peculiarities of depressions in “working” emigrants and re-emigrants.

Methodology

The investigation was carried out in Ternopil Region. Psychogenic depressive disorders (F43.21 and F43.22 according to ICD-10) were diagnosed in 69 non-emigrants, 68 emigrants, and 67 re-emigrants; endogenous ones (F31.3, F31.4, F32.1, F32.2, F33.1, and F33.2 according to ICD-10) were diagnosed in 65, 66, and 63 persons correspondingly; and organic ones (F06.3 according to ICD-10) were diagnosed in 64, 62, and 61 persons correspondingly.

Results

It was found out an influence of emigration and re-emigration factors on psychoemotional sphere of the patients. The influence of the emigration factor was the most manifested in patients with psychogenic depressive disorders and was a less manifested in patients with endogenous and organic depression. Re-emigrants had the most severe depressive symptoms that might be explained by an impact of psychosocial factors. In the syndromological structure of depressive disorders it was determined that re-emigrants were more affected by typical affective syndromes – vital and apathic depression, whereas emigrants were more affected by atypical affective syndromes, including anxious-depressive and agitation ones. It might be explained by an influence of objective social-psychological factors as well as an intrapsychic transformation of actual stressors connected with emigration and re-emigration.

Conclusions

Emigration should be considered as a factor promoting a pathologically characterological development towards anxious-depressive changes, whereas re-emigration should be considered as a factor of asthenic-depressive and apathic-depressive transformations.
