During the lecture, we will delve into one of the most profound works of Russian classical literature about mental disorders — Anton Pavlovich Chekhov’s story “Ward No. 6.” Despite the fact that the work was written in 1892, it still amazes with its accurate descriptions of psychopathological phenomena. The story seems relevant even today due to the low variability of the main manifestations of disorders. One of the main characters suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and, despite this, gives his doctor many reasons for discussion not only about medicine, but also about his own responsibility, the meaning of life, and other deep existential topics. As a result, we see a picture of society and its treatment of “undesirable” citizens, we go through the path of detachment and loss of values to a collision with a sometimes very cruel reality. “Ward No. 6” has long become a household word, and its content — a reason for serious reflection. Lecturer — Galina Kharkova, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, candidate of medical sciences. The meeting will be held as part of the lecture series “Puzzle”.
