[Aspects of depressive states in repatriated female refugees].
Nine hundred and eight repatriated women--refugees from Tadjikistan, who spent 1.5-5 years in the refugee's camps in the Islamic State of Afghanistan during the 1992 military conflict have been examined. A broad spectrum of depressive states was found: subdepressive psychogenic states (42.5% of the cases), lingering psychogenic depressions (28.8%), and endogenous depressions (28.6%). Among lingering psychogenic depressions, there were most frequently anxious-depressive, depressive-hypochondriac, and depressive-obsessive types. A 1.5-year follow-up revealed subdepressive states to have the most favourable outcome. Lingering depressive states, specifically when transformed to endogenous ones, their prognosis was less favourable. However, in some of these cases, a favourable outcome may be detected in the follow-up period when adequate complex medical and social rehabilitation care was used.
