Everything about Sluggishly Progressing Schizophrenia totally explained
Sluggishly progressing schizophrenia or
sluggish schizophrenia was a category of
schizophrenia diagnosed by
psychiatrists in the
Soviet Union. At the time, Western psychiatry recognized only four types of schizophrenia:
catatonic,
hebephrenic,
paranoid, and simple. The diagnostic criteria for this fifth category were so vague that it could be applied to virtually any person not suffering from mental function impairment and having interests beyond survival needs. The diagnosis was sometimes applied to dissidents who were not in fact
mentally ill, so that they could be forcibly hospitalized in
mental institutions and subjected to treatments including powerful
antidepressants and
electroconvulsive therapy.
The existence of this diagnosis has led to questions on the part of supporters of
anti-psychiatry about the existence of schizophrenia in general, about whether it's diagnosed properly, and about political misuses of the schizophrenia diagnosis in the West.
