Abstract

The conducted study of socio-psychological, phenomenological, clinical-psychopathological differences of depressive disorders in emmigrants considering the genesis of pathology of organic, endogenous and exogenous.

We used clinical-psychopathological, psychometric, statistical methods. We examined 198 emmigrants (persons permanently for at least the last year, lived outside Ukraine and at the time of the examination were in Ukraine and planned to return abroad soon) which had the final clinical diagnosis of depressive disorder according to ICD-10 criteria. For the providing of the purpose we had identified three clinical groups of emmigrants suffering from psychogenous, endogenous and organic depressive disorders. Psychometric examination in emmigrants with depressive disorders found expressed signs of depressed mood; they are characterized by manifestations of adynamic, agitated depression and depression with fear, and the most severe manifestations of these symptoms were at the patients with organic and endogenous depression. High level of depression in emmigrants is combined with expressed signs of mental and somatic anxiety; these displays are also the most expressed at emmigrants that suffering from endogenous and organic depressive disorders. More rarely  suicide attempts were commited by emmigrants suffering from psychogenic depression (2,9  %). Evaluation of suicide risk found that emmigrants have medium degree risk of suicidality.
