[Neuropsychological sequelae of deportation to the Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War].
The essential neuropsychic consequences of the deportation to the nazi concentration camps of adults during the second world war are the "KZ syndrome", the survival syndrome (or persecution syndrome) and reactive schizophrenias. The "KZ syndrome" puts together a psychic asthenia, a progressive intellectual deterioration, anxiety, depressive mood and vegetative disturbances. It is brought about as a consequence of malnutrition and the psychic traumas suffered by those deported. It shows up mainly in the non-jewish deported. The survival syndrome is chronic, puts together anxiety, insomnia and nightmares, repetitive memories relative to the period of persecution, depressive symptoms, somatic complaints, neurovegetative disturbances and hypervigilance. It is observed mainly in those deported that are jewish. It is produced as a consequence of very severe psychic traumas suffered by the jewish deportees. Some reactive schizophrenias described in deported jews seem to be the direct consequence of psychic traumas of an extreme intensity.
