Political and Psychiatric Ambiguities in the Baltic States:听From Neurasthenia to Depression

Independence for the Baltic States has led to
change in all areas of social life: not only political
and economic but also medical and psychiatric. The Soviet
system of medicine provided a large number of psychosomatic
diagnoses, among them neurasthenia, which were not stigmatized.
Although many patients felt that the doctor's emphasis on
physical symptoms did not capture the essence of what was
wrong and neglected the intimate relationship between
biographical experience and subsequent illness nevertheless
there was ready access to the sick role. West European and
Scandinavian influences have led to massive restructuring
of the health care delivery system, less autonomy for the
patient, and a different set of diagnoses. Depression has
replaced neurasthenia but does not carry with it the same
set of privileges. My presentation looks at how patients
articulate their ill health in terms of a continuing
dialogue with the past.
