În anul 1678, medicul elvetian J.J. Harder din Basel propunea breslei sale un nou termen - Heimatweh, cuvînt format din Heim = camin, vatra, patrie si Weh = durere, suferinta, boala. Cuvantul apare pentru prima data in lucrarea intitulata: „Dissertatio de Nostalgia oder Heimweh oder Heimatsucht” (boala, obsesie a dorului de patrie), rezultat al observatiilor sale profesionale asupra mercenarilor elvetieni, angajati in razboaie pe tot cuprinsul batranei Europe.In romaneste, nostalgie. Definitie de dictionar psihiatric:
"Aside from the common meaning of dwelling on the past, nostalgia is also a dated psychiatric term often applied to soldiers suffering exogenous anxiety or combat fatigue leading to obsessions of returning home. Symptoms included extreme apathy, an inability to concentrate, excessive physical fatigue, an unwillingness to eat or drink leading at times to anorexia, a feeling of isolation and total frustration leading to a general inability to function."
