Abstract

Summary. Studies of psychopathology with help of Symptom Check List-90-Revised – SCL-90-R revealed that among patients with psychogenic depressive disorder immigrants were significantly higher compared to re-emigrants and not immigrants indicators on scales somatization (respectively 0.87±0.53 points, 0.66±0.40 points and 0.51±0.34 points), obsessive-compulsive disorder (1.43±0.77 points, 1.13±0.44 points and 0.98±0.48 points), anxiety (1.73±1.07 points, 1.32±0.84 points and 1.07±0.98 points), and the re-emigrants –depression (2.98±0.35 points of emigrants 2.61±0.59 points, not immigrants in 2.40±0.45 points) and interpersonal sensitivity (respectively 1.24±0.33 points, 1.15±0.35 points and 0.95±0.29 points), and the severity of distress index (2.45±0.23 points, 2.40±0.42 points and 2.25±0.29 points). In patients with endogenous depressive disorders impact factor of emigration was lower, but the overall trends remain: the immigrants had the most expressive manifestations of somatization (1.17±0.83 points in re-emigrants 0.83±0.48 points in immigrants not 0.77±0.70 points), anxiety (respectively 1.90±1.10 points, 1.47±0.97 points and 1.14±1.01 points), obsessive-compulsive disorder (respectively 1.54±0,66 points, 1.34±0.52 points and 1.07±0.44 points), and phobic anxiety (respectively 0.76±0.44 points, 0.68±0.23 and 0.67±points 0.40 points), and the re-emigrants – depression (3.18±0.26 points in emigrants 2.79±0.42 points, not immigrants in 2.63±0.30 points), interpersonal sensitivity (1.36±0.45 points, not immigrants in 1.10±0.32 points in emigrants 1.07±0.49 points) distress and severity index (2.60±0.16 points to 2.53±immigrants 0.34 points, not immigrants in 2.30±0.28 points). In patients with organic depressive disorder revealed more complex patterns due to the nature of depression, significant differences between the groups in terms of immigrants, not emigrants and re-emigrants found for somatization (respectively 1.33±0.68 points, 0.93±0.32 points and 0.91±0.64 points), anxiety (respectively 1.99±0.67 points, 1.68±0.60 points and 1.43±1.03 points), phobic anxiety (0.91±0.45 points, 0.75±0.31 points and 0.66±0.39 points) and obsessivecompulsive disorder (respectively 1.10±0.63 points, 1.49±0.51 and 1.25±points 0.61 points). Indicators for depression and interpersonal sensitivity are the highest in the re-emigrants (respectively 3.16±0.48 points and 1.43±0.40 points) lower in immigrants (respectively 2.92±0.41 points and 1.21±0.34 points), and the least – in no immigrants (respectively 2.66±0.51 points and 1.11±0.38 points). Identified patterns can be explained by the influence of objective social and psychological circumstances.
