I've been trying to look up information about sluggishly progressing schizophrenia, but the only source accessible to me was a Wikipedia article, that states that the term sluggish schizophrenia was created to diagnose political dissidents, but nevertheless, it has been also adopted in modern Russia.I wish to know about other countries, which haven't been a part of USSR. Is the term officially recognized in the western world? Is it considered a complete misdiagnosis? Is there some other classification, that is used for the same condition instead?
Is sluggishly progressing schizophrenia recognized outside of Russia?
