{{Short description|Controversial psychiatric diagnosis}} {{Use shortened footnotes|date=May 2023}} {{Psychiatry in Russia and the USSR}} '''Sluggish schizophrenia''' or '''slow progressive schizophrenia''' ({{langx|ru|вялотеку́щая шизофрени́я|translit=vyalotekushchaya shizofreniya}}){{sfn|Jargin|2011}} was a diagnostic category used in the Soviet Union to describe what was claimed to be a form of schizophrenia characterized by a slowly progressive course; it was diagnosed even in patients who showed no symptoms of schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, on the assumption that these symptoms would appear later.{{sfn|Sfera|2013}} It was developed in the 1960s by Soviet psychiatrist Andrei Snezhnevsky and his colleagues,{{sfn|Smulevich|1989}}{{sfn|Korolenko|Kensin|2002}} and was used exclusively in the USSR and several Eastern Bloc countries, until the fall of Communism starting in 1989.<ref>{{harvnb|Wilkinson|1986}}; {{harvnb|Merskey|Shafran|1986}}; {{harvnb|Gluzman|2013a}}; {{harvnb|Korotenko|Alikina|2002|p=18}}; {{harvnb|Gershman|1984}}; {{harvnb|Targum|Chaban|Mykhnyak|2013}}</ref> The diagnosis has long been discredited because of its scientific inadequacy and its use as a means of confining dissenters.{{sfn|Merskey|1988}} It has never been used or recognized outside of the Eastern Bloc,{{sfn|Moran|2010}} or by international organizations such as the World Health Organization.{{sfn|RIANovosti|2013}} It is considered a prime example of the political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union.{{Sfn|Arutyunov Henry|1987|p=}}

Sluggish schizophrenia was the most infamous of diagnoses used by Soviet psychiatrists, due to its usage against political dissidents.{{sfn|Robertson|Walter|2013|p=84}} After being discharged from a hospital, persons diagnosed with sluggish schizophrenia were deprived of their civic rights, credibility and employability.{{sfn|Plante|2013|p=110}} The usage of this diagnosis has been internationally condemned.{{sfn|Gershman|1984}}

In the Russian version of the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10), which has long been used throughout present-day Russia, sluggish schizophrenia is no longer listed as a form of schizophrenia,{{sfn|Savenko|2008}} but it is still included as a schizotypal disorder in section F21 of chapter V.{{sfn|Russian adapted version of the ICD-10}}

According to Sergei Jargin, the same Russian term "vyalotekushchaya" for sluggish schizophrenia continues to be used and is now translated in English summaries of articles not as "sluggish" but as "slow progressive".{{sfn|Jargin|2011}}

== Development of theory == The term "sluggish schizophrenia" was introduced in the Soviet Union in the 1930s by Dr. Grunia Sukhareva. Sukhareva first used the term in a 1933 article in which she described a type of schizophrenia that developed slowly in children beginning before puberty. Sukhareva's term became a standard part of Soviet textbooks on schizophrenia in the 1940s.{{sfn|Zajicek|2018|p=97–101}} In the 1960s, Professor Andrei Snezhnevsky, the most prominent theorist of Soviet psychiatry and director of the Institute of Psychiatry of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, developed a novel classification of mental disorders postulating an original set of diagnostic criteria.{{sfn|Ougrin|Gluzman|Dratcu|2006}} Snezhnevsky and his colleagues who developed the concept were supported by Soviet psychiatrists Fedor Kondratev, Sergei Semyonov, and Yakov Frumkin.{{sfn|Korotenko|Alikina|2002|p=46}} All were members of the "Moscow school" of psychiatry.

A majority of experts believe that the concept was developed under instructions from the Soviet secret service KGB and the Communist Party.{{sfn|Voren|2010b}}

== Use against political dissidents == {{See also|Political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union}} Psychiatric diagnoses such as sluggish schizophrenia were used in the USSR for political purposes;{{sfn|Katona|Robertson|2005|p=77}} the diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia was most frequently used for Soviet dissidents.{{sfn|Reich|1983}} Sluggish schizophrenia as a diagnostic category was created to facilitate the stifling of dissidents and was a root of self-deception among psychiatrists to placate their consciences when the doctors acted as a tool of oppression in the name of a political system.{{sfn|Tobin|2013}} American psychiatrist Peter Breggin points out that the term "sluggish schizophrenia" was created to justify involuntary treatment of political dissidents with drugs normally used for psychiatric patients.{{sfn|Breggin|1993}}

Critics implied that Snezhnevsky designed the Soviet model of schizophrenia (and this diagnosis) to make political dissent a mental illness.{{sfn|Stone|2002}}

St. Petersburg academic psychiatrist professor Yuri Nuller notes that the concept of Snezhnevsky's school allowed psychiatrists to consider, for example, schizoid psychopathy and even schizoid character traits as early, delayed in their development, stages of the inevitable progredient process, rather than as personality traits inherent to the individual, the dynamics of which might depend on various external factors.{{sfn|Nuller|2008|p=17}} The same also applied to a number of other personality disorders.{{sfn|Nuller|2008|p=17}} It entailed the extremely broadened diagnostics of sluggish (neurosis-like, psychopathy-like) schizophrenia.{{sfn|Nuller|2008|p=17}} Despite a number of its controversial premises, but in line with the traditions of then Soviet science, Snezhnevsky's hypothesis immediately acquired the status of dogma, which was later overcome in other disciplines but firmly stuck in psychiatry.{{sfn|Nuller|2008|p=18}} Snezhnevsky's concept, with its dogmatism, proved to be psychologically comfortable for many psychiatrists, relieving them from doubt when making a diagnosis.{{sfn|Nuller|2008|p=18}}

On the covert orders of the KGB, thousands of social and political reformers—Soviet dissidents—were incarcerated in mental hospitals after being labelled with diagnoses of sluggish schizophrenia.{{sfn|Healey|2011}} Snezhnevsky himself diagnosed, or was otherwise involved in, a series of famous dissident cases,{{sfn|Reich|1983}} and in dozens of cases he personally signed a commission decision on the legal insanity of dissidents who were in fact mentally healthy, including Vladimir Bukovsky, Natalya Gorbanevskaya, Leonid Plyushch, Mikola Plakhotnyuk,{{sfn|Gluzman|2013b}} and Pyotr Grigorenko.{{sfn|Stone|1985|p=11}}

== Premises for using the diagnosis == According to the Global Initiative on Psychiatry chief executive Robert van Voren, the political abuse of psychiatry in the USSR arose from the concept that people who opposed the Soviet regime were mentally ill (since there was no logical reason to oppose the sociopolitical system considered the best in the world).<ref name=Voren1>{{harvs|txt|author=Voren|year1=2010b|year2=2013}}</ref> The diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia furnished a framework for explaining this behavior.<ref name=Voren1/> This seemed to many Soviet psychiatrists a logical explanation for why someone would be willing to abandon his happiness, family, and career for a conviction so different from what most individuals seemed to believe.{{sfn|Voren|2010b}}

== Popularity of diagnosis == Because of diagnoses of sluggish schizophrenia, Russia in 1974 had 5–7 cases of schizophrenia per 1,000 population, compared to 3–4 per 1,000 in the United Kingdom.{{sfn|Gosden|2001|p=22}} In the 1980s, Russia had three times as many schizophrenic patients per capita as the US, twice as many schizophrenic patients as West Germany, Austria and Japan,{{sfn|Vasilenko|2004|p=33}} and more schizophrenic patients than any Western country.{{sfn|Vasilenko|2004|p=33}} The city with the highest diagnosed prevalence of schizophrenia in the world was Moscow.{{sfn|Park|Park|Jun|Kim|2014}}

Along with paranoia, sluggish schizophrenia was the diagnosis most frequently used for the psychiatric incarceration of dissenters.{{sfn|Ougrin|Gluzman|Dratcu|2006}} Darrel Regier of the National Institute of Mental Health, one of the U.S. experts who visited Soviet psychiatric hospitals in 1989, testified that a "substantial number" of political dissenters had been recognized as mentally sick on the basis of such symptoms as "anti-Soviet thoughts" or "delusions of reformism".{{sfn|Moseley|1989}}

According to Moscow psychiatrist Alexander Danilin, the nosological approach in the Moscow psychiatric school established by Andrei Snezhnevsky (whom Danilin considered a state criminal) boiled down to the ability to diagnose schizophrenia.{{sfn|Danilin|2008}}

== Systematics by Snezhnevsky == The Soviet model of schizophrenia is based on the hypothesis that a fundamental characteristic (by which schizophrenia spectrum disorders are distinguished clinically) is its longitudinal course.{{sfn|Lavretsky|1998|p=543}} The hypothesis implies three main types of schizophrenia: * Continuous: unremitting, proceeding rapidly ("malignant") or slowly ("sluggish"), with a poor prognosis * Periodic (or recurrent): characterized by an acute attack, followed by full remission with little or no progression * Mixed ({{langx|de|schubweise}}; in German, {{Lang|de|schub}} means "phase" or "attack"): mixture of continuous and periodic types which occurs periodically and is characterized by only partial remission.{{sfn|Lavretsky|1998|p=543}}

The classification of schizophrenia types attributed to Snezhnevsky{{sfn|Bleikher|1984|p=278}} is still used in Russia,{{sfn|Zharikov|Tyulpin|2000|p=371}} and considers sluggish schizophrenia an example of the continuous type.{{sfn|Tiganov|1999|p=414}} The prevalence of Snezhnevsky's theories has particularly led to a broadening of the boundaries of disease such that even the mildest behavioral change is interpreted as indication of mental disorder.{{sfn|Bloch|Reddaway|1985|p=40}}

=== Conditions posed as symptoms === A carefully crafted description of sluggish schizophrenia established that psychotic symptoms were non-essential for the diagnosis, but symptoms of psychopathy, hypochondria, depersonalization or anxiety were central to it.{{sfn|Ougrin|Gluzman|Dratcu|2006}} Symptoms considered part of the "negative axis" included pessimism, poor social adaptation and conflict with authorities, and were themselves sufficient for a formal diagnosis of "sluggish schizophrenia with few symptoms".{{sfn|Ougrin|Gluzman|Dratcu|2006}} According to Snezhnevsky, patients with sluggish schizophrenia could present as seemingly sane but manifest minimal (and clinically relevant) personality changes which could remain unnoticed by the untrained eye.{{sfn|Ougrin|Gluzman|Dratcu|2006}} Patients with non-psychotic mental disorders (or who were not mentally ill) could be diagnosed with sluggish schizophrenia.{{sfn|Ougrin|Gluzman|Dratcu|2006}} Harold Merskey and Bronislava Shafran write that many conditions which would probably be diagnosed elsewhere as hypochondriacal or personality disorders, anxiety disorders or depressive disorders appear liable to come under the banner of slowly progressive schizophrenia in Snezhnevsky's system.{{sfn|Merskey|Shafran|1986}}

The incidence of sluggish schizophrenia increased because, according to Snezhnevsky and his colleagues, patients with this diagnosis were capable of socially functioning almost normally.<ref name=Voren1/> Their symptoms could resemble those of a neurosis or paranoia.<ref name=Voren1/> Patients with paranoid symptoms retained insight into their condition, but overestimated their significance and had grandiose ideas of reforming society.<ref name=Voren1/> Sluggish schizophrenia could have such symptoms as "reform delusions", "perseverance" and "struggle for the truth".<ref name=Voren1/> As Viktor Styazhkin reported, Snezhnevsky diagnosed a reform delusion in every case where a patient "develops a new principle of human knowledge, drafts an ideal of human happiness or other projects for the benefit of mankind".{{sfn|Styazhkin|1992|p=66}}

During the 1960s and 1970s, theories which contained ideas about reforming society, struggling for the truth, and religious convictions were not considered delusional paranoid disorders in nearly any foreign classifications; however, Soviet psychiatry (for ideological reasons) considered critiques of the political system and proposals to reform it as delusional behavior.{{sfn|Korotenko|Alikina|2002|p=19}} The diagnoses of sluggish schizophrenia and paranoid states with delusions of reform were used only in the Soviet Union and several Eastern European countries.{{sfn|Korotenko|Alikina|2002|p=18}}

An audience member at a lecture by Georgi Morozov on forensic psychiatry in the Serbsky Institute asked, "Tell us, Georgi Vasilevich, what is actually the diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia?"{{sfn|Gluzman|2009}} Since the question was asked ironically Morozov replied ironically: "You know, dear colleagues, this is a very peculiar disease. There are not delusional disorders, there are not hallucinations, but there is schizophrenia!"{{sfn|Gluzman|2009}}

The two Soviet psychiatrists Marat Vartanyan and Andrei Mukhin in their interview to the Soviet newspaper ''Komsomolskaya Pravda'' issued on 15 July 1987 explained how it was possible that a person might be mentally ill, while people surrounding him did not notice it, for example, in the case of "sluggish schizophrenia".<ref name=Voren2>{{harvs|txt|author=Voren|year1=2010a|loc1=p. 492|year2=2013}}</ref> What was meant by saying that a person is mentally ill?<ref name=Voren2/> Marat Vartanyan said, "... When a person is obsessively occupied with something. If you discuss another subject with him, he is a normal person who is healthy, and who may be your superior in intelligence, knowledge and eloquence. But as soon as you mention his favourite subject, his pathological obsessions flare up wildly."<ref name=Voren2/> Vartanyan confirmed that hundreds of people with this diagnosis were hospitalized in the Soviet Union.<ref name=Voren2/> According to Mukhin, it took place because "they disseminate their pathological reformist ideas among the masses."<ref name=Voren2/> A few months later the same newspaper listed "an exceptional interest in philosophical systems, religion and art" among symptoms of sluggish schizophrenia from a ''Manual on Psychiatry'' of Snezhnevsky's Moscow school.{{sfn|Voren|2010a|p=492}}

== Recognizing method, treatment and study == [[File:St Petersburg Psychiatric Hospital of Specialized Type with Intense Observation.JPG|thumb|right|The Leningrad Special Psychiatric Hospital of Prison Type of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs where Vladimir Bukovsky, Pyotr Grigorenko, Alexander Yesenin-Volpin and Viktor Fainberg were imprisoned{{sfn|Fainberg|1975}} was one of the psychiatric hospitals of a special type used to "treat" litigiousness and reformism]]

Only specially instructed psychiatrists could recognize sluggish schizophrenia to indefinitely treat dissenters in a "Special Psychiatric Hospital" with heavy doses of antipsychotic medication.{{sfn|Plante|2013|p=110}} Convinced of the immortality of the totalitarian USSR, Soviet psychiatrists, especially in Moscow, did not hesitate to form "scientific" articles and defend dissertations by using the cases of dissidents.{{sfn|Gluzman|2013a}} For example, Snezhnevsky diagnosed dissident Vladimir Bukovsky as schizophrenic on 5 July 1962{{sfn|Popov|1992|p=70}} and on 12 November 1971 wrote to writer Viktor Nekrasov that the characteristics of Bukovsky's mental disease were included in the dissertation by Snezhnevsky's colleague.<ref name=Snezhnevsky>{{harvs|txt|author=Snezhnevsky|year1=2012|loc1=p. 287|year2=2014}}</ref> All the paper products were available in medical libraries.{{sfn|Gluzman|2013a}} As Semyon Gluzman recollects, when he returned to Kiev in 1982 after his absence of ten years, he was amazed to see all this "scientific" literature in open storage at the Kiev medical library and was even more amazed to read all the "ridiculous stuff" hardly put into scientific psychiatric terminology.{{sfn|Gluzman|2013a}} In their papers and dissertations on treatment for litigiousness and reformism, Kosachyov and other Soviet psychiatrists recommended compulsory treatment for persons with litigiousness and reformism, in the same psychiatric hospitals used for murderers:{{sfn|UPA Herald|2013}} {{quote|Compulsory treatment in psychiatric hospitals of special type is to be recommended in cases of brutal murders committed on delusional grounds as well as in cases of persistent litigiousness and reformism with an inclination to induce surrounding persons and with a tendency to repetition of the illegal acts.}}

== Western criticism == Westerners first became aware of sluggish schizophrenia and its political uses in the mid-1970s, as a result of the high reported incidence of schizophrenia in the Russian population.{{sfn|Gosden|2001|p=22}} Snezhnevsky was personally attacked in the West as an example of psychiatric abuse in the USSR.{{sfn|Reich|1983}} He was charged with cynically developing a system of diagnosis that could be bent for political purposes. American psychiatrist Alan A. Stone stated that Western criticism of Soviet psychiatry focused on Snezhnevsky personally because he was responsible for the diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia for "reformism" and other such symptoms.{{sfn|Stone|1985|p=8}}

== Recurrence in post-Soviet countries == In 2010, Yuri Savenko, the president of the Independent Psychiatric Association of Russia, warned that Professor Anatoly Smulevich, author of the monographs ''Problema Paranoyi'' (''The Problem of Paranoia'') (1972) and ''Maloprogredientnaya Shizofreniya'' (''Continuous Sluggish Schizophrenia'') (1987), which had contributed to the hyperdiagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia, had again begun to play the same role. Under his influence, therapists have begun to widely use antidepressants and antipsychotics but often in inadequate cases and in inappropriate doses, without consulting psychiatrists. This situation has opened up a huge new market for pharmaceutical firms, and the flow of the mentally ill to internists.{{sfn|Savenko|2010}}

In their joint book ''Sociodinamicheskaya Psikhiatriya'' (''Sociodynamic Psychiatry''), Doctor of Medical Sciences professor of psychiatry Caesar Korolenko and Doctor of Psychological Sciences Nina Dmitrieva note that Smulevich's clinical description of sluggish schizophrenia is extremely elusive and includes almost all possible changes in mental status and conditions that occur in a person without psychopathology: euphoria, hyperactivity, unfounded optimism, irritability, explosiveness, sensitivity, inadequacy and emotional deficit, hysterical reactions with conversive and dissociative symptoms, infantilism, obsessive-phobic states and stubbornness.{{sfn|Korolenko|Dmitrieva|2000|p=18}} At present, the hyperdiagnosis of schizophrenia becomes especially negative due to a large number of schizophreniform psychoses caused by the increasing popularity of various esoteric sects. They practice meditation, sensory deprivation, special exercises with rhythmic movements which directly stimulate the deep subconscious and, by doing so, lead to the development of psychoses with mainly reversible course.{{sfn|Korolenko|Dmitrieva|2000|p=21}} Smulevich{{sfn|Smulevich|1989}} bases the diagnosis of continuous sluggish schizophrenia, in particular, on appearance and lifestyle and stresses that the forefront in the picture of negative changes is given to the contrast between retaining mental activity (and sometimes quite high capacity for work) and mannerism, unusualness of one's appearance and entire lifestyle.{{sfn|Smulevich|2009}} In his 2014 interview, Anatoly Smulevich says, "Now everything has slightly turned in a different way, sluggish schizophrenia has been transformed into schizotypal disorder, etc. I think it is not the end of his [Snezhnevsky's] teaching, because after a while, everything will get back into a rut, but it will not be a simple repetition but will get some new direction."{{sfn|Smulevich|Morozov|2014}}

In 2009, Tatyana Dmitrieva, the then director of the Serbsky Center, said to the BBC Russian Service, "A diagnosis is now made only according to the international classification, so called ICD-10. In this classification, there is no sluggish schizophrenia, and therefore, even this diagnosis has not just been made for a long time."{{sfn|Fedenko|2009}} However, according to the 2012 interview by the president of the Ukrainian Psychiatric Association Semyon Gluzman to Radio Liberty, though the diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia no longer exists in Ukraine, in Russia, as far as he knows, this diagnosis still exists, and was given to Mikhail Kosenko, one of the accused in the Bolotnaya Square case.{{sfn|Pavlova|Polyakovskaya|2012}} The prosecution's case for his forced hospitalization rested on confirmation of the diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia{{sfn|RIANovosti|2013}} that he has been treated for over the last 12 years, until 2013 when the diagnosis was changed to that of paranoid schizophrenia by the Serbsky Center experts who examined Kosenko and convinced the court to send him for compulsory treatment to a psychiatric hospital.{{sfn|Davidoff|2013}} Zurab Kekelidze (ru), who heads the Serbsky Center and is the chief psychiatrist of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation,{{sfn|Safina|2011}} confirmed that Kosenko was diagnosed with sluggish schizophrenia.{{sfn|Kekelidze|2013}}

According to the commentary by the Independent Psychiatric Association of Russia on the 2007 text by Vladimir Rotstein, a doctrinist of Snezhnevsky's school, there are sufficient patients with delusion of reformism in psychiatric inpatient facilities for involuntary treatment.{{sfn|NPZ|2007}} In 2012, delusion of reformism was mentioned as a symptom of mental disorder in ''Psychiatry: National Manual''.{{sfn|Dmitrieva|Krasnov|Neznanov|2012|p=322}} In the same year, Vladimir Pashkovsky in his paper reported that he diagnosed 4.7 percent of 300 patients with delusion of reform.{{sfn|Pashkovsky|2012}} As Russian sociologist Alexander Tarasov wrote, "you will be treated in a hospital so that you and all your acquaintances get to learn forever that only such people as Anatoly Chubais or German Gref can be occupied with reforming in our country."{{sfn|Tarasov|2006|p=159}} According to Raimonds Krumgolds, a former member of the political party The Other Russia, he was examined because of his "delusion of reformism", which gave rise to an assumption of slow progressive schizophrenia.{{sfn|Krumgold|2012}} In 2012, Tyuvina and Balabanova in their joint paper reported that they used sulpiride to treat slow progressive schizophrenia.{{sfn|Tyuvina|Balabanova|2012}}
