Wall disease

In 1973, the East German psychiatrist Dietfried Müller-Hegemann observed that the Berlin Wall caused psychosis, schizophrenia, and phobias in the East Germans who lived in its shadow. They suffered rage, dejection, and alcoholism — and were more likely to kill themselves. The closer to the physical wall his patients lived, the more acute their disorders.
He called it the "Wall disease".

The fall of the Berlin Wall

The only cure for “Wall disease” was to bring the wall down.
In 1989, the Emotional Liberation happened.
