How is the disturbance of the psyche manifested

Types of delusional syndromes.

Delusional syndromes are a violation of the psyche, in which the most important sign is delusions - a false, unrelated opinion or idea that arises from the patient in the head and is completely taken up by the life situation. The patient is 100% sure that he is right in his judgments.

Delusional syndromes accompany mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, manic-depressive syndrome, as well as organic( against the background of trauma, infection and tumor) brain diseases, chronic poisoning and vascular lesions( intoxication, with alcohol abuse).

The main delusional syndromes can be called paranoid, paranoid and paraphrenic. Let us consider in more detail how a disturbance of the psyche is manifested in such syndromes.

Paranoid delusional syndrome.

Delirium, which develops with a clear consciousness and often with normal intellectual abilities and professional skills.

An over-the-top idea, which often lies at the core, is a belief that was formed under the influence of objectively real life situations. But the patient gives an invaluable idea too much significance, which it is not worth.

Gradually, turning into a classified paranoia, such an invaluable idea takes on new and new speculation. Such nonsense can be acute and chronic.

This mental disorder manifests itself gradually. The first is the idea of ​​persecution. Then the patient is afraid of persecution at work, or dislike of neighbors. .. Over time, the patient begins to fear for his life. And here it is already required to apply more active actions relative to the patient.

Patients become self-enclosed, fencing themselves off from the outside world, or aggressively attacking people( "enemies" in their understanding) by performing actions that are contrary to the rights. Sometimes paranoia will end up as a delusion of grandeur, invention, social transformation.

Acute paranal syndrome is often expressed by the sudden appearance of anxiety, fear, or exalted delight against the backdrop of some imaginary opinion. Strong emotional experiences often contribute to the emergence of a large degree of aggression in patients. The most common disturbance of the psyche, such as paranoid nonsense manifests itself in schizophrenia.

Paranoid delusional syndrome.

Paranoid or hallucinatory-paranoid syndrome is a complex of symptoms that are manifested by delusions of persecution and impressionable disorders with verbal hallucinations and psychic automatisms( imposition of "alien" thoughts).In addition to feelings of persecution, there are other delusional ideas - the use of physical strength, jealousy, poisoning, surveillance.

Often combined raving persecution and impact. It seems to the patient that after him someone is constantly watching, and thereby it harms him."Enemies" are capable of sugesting into his thinking delusional ideas that make him go to certain actions. The paranoid syndrome often develops gradually, but can begin and is sharp.

Acute paranoid nonsense is a combination of hallucinations with imaginative delirium, non-existent hallucinations and the imposition of someone's thoughts in the head( the syndrome of mental automatism).With such manifestations of the paranoid syndrome, patients are constantly confused and are unquestionably alarmed.

Paranoid syndrome usually occurs with a chronic illness, such as schizophrenia.

Parasitic delirious syndrome.

Paraphrenia( fantasyophrenia, fantastically paranoid syndrome) is a complex of symptoms dominated by delirium of non-existent content, which is often combined with grandiose megalomania with ideas of persecution or influence by someone relatively ill and often with auditory hallucinations or non-existent hallucinations. The level of systematization of delirium and its utopianism can vary. Very often, these symptoms of paraphrenic delusional syndrome are combined with verbal hallucinations.

In one of the psychiatric hospitals, patients say that they are affected by various fantastic devices. That supposedly they meet with celebrities. Parafrenic syndrome produces chronic current diseases.
