Supervaluable ideas

Supervalued ideas are a psycho-productive disorder of thinking, along with delusional and obsessive thought ideas. This pathology does not always reach the category of psychiatry, because it can be peculiar to a very healthy individual. It is worth noting that some sophisticated psychologists of even an amorous individual are classified as one whose head was captured by supervalued thoughts.

This pathology is difficult with its stickiness, it is difficult for a person to get rid of this thought idea, it transforms it into a category of overvalued. Although not always this can be considered a characterological minus, since there is evidence that every invention was formed by an overvalued idea. The part of madness is, of its own kind, the pay of scientists for genius.

What are the most valuable ideas?

Supervalued ideas are able to have a terminology more applied to everyday life in the form of a fix, which literally translates as a fixed thought. The word takes its linguistic origin from French sources. This term is psychological and the main thing in its description is the presence of a real background, which is simply greatly exaggerated. These ideas strongly take hold of the essence of the individual.

Supervalued ideas were described later, rather than intrusive, it was with obsessions Wernicke, the founder of these ideas differentiated them. Earlier, his teacher Westphal described obsessions, but did not distinguish himself beyond value. Examples of supervalued ideas are very bright, everyone was at least once engulfed by an emotional storm because of a personal brilliant idea. In a situation with overvalued ideas, it is important to realize that for each person different things are important. We can laugh at someone's pathological, to our individually formed view, the idea( to prove to the mother that I'm no worse than the hostess), and yet do not turn in to no less absurdity at the sight of someone. That's why our thoughts are hidden from each of those around us and allow us to remain ourselves, without becoming 100% frank.

Examples of supervalued ideas are diverse, someone the main ideal children, someone cares about a figure and a carelessly thrown phrase can cause anorexia. Examples of supervalued ideas are often found in suspicious people. They can be vast, but at the level of instinct, for example, this is motherhood, because a woman, even if exhausted, wakes up to a child's crying, ignoring other aspects of life.

Often overvalued ideas play into the hands of the person they are embracing, because the individual is so persuasive in his rightness, considering himself, for example, a loser, that no situation and arguments save him. He personally classifies everything in such a brilliant light that everything becomes worse. These ideas for the individual are usually very deep, resulting from the subconscious.

Supervaluable ideas are not wrong, but their manifestations are always one-sided. That is, they are so colored in a certain emotional color that they block any other arguments of reason, beginning to dominate and becoming all-consuming. Supervalued ideas, just the discharge of what in the earthly world should not be as given in reality, because they a priori under themselves have one side, show either a black state or white, and in the reality of life there is none. That is why it is so difficult to comprehend such persons and that is why they are so much attractive to individuals around.

Wernicke himself in 1892 designated these thoughts as coming from the consciousness of the individual and not causing feelings of alienation. He said that they are formed with a strong emotional color. Types of supervalued ideas are also for the first time designated Wernicke, singling out normal and painful ideas, of which then there is delirium or obsession. The line here between norm and pathology is sometimes so muddy that it can often lead to diagnostic failures due to the miss of a more serious problem, covered by an overvalued idea.

Reasons for overvalued ideas

Supervaluable ideas - this is exactly the type of disorders that are formed due to the characteristics of personality and educational moments. These ideas are typical for serious mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, organic disorders, as a harbinger of delusional ideas, and for neuroses and all the neurogenic spectrum. Their formation can be provoked by shocks of the emotional plan. As a rule, people with overvalued ideas should form some inflated values. Values ​​are divided into different levels and are formed by each individual, but in the majority they have clear boundaries and do not pass them. Values ​​can be directly overstated, which affects the overvaluation of ideas, and they can also be accentuated. At the same time accentuation does not always lead to overvalues, often the ideas are accentuated in certain necessary situations, eventually coming to normal. But there may be their hyperactivation, which interests us in the event of this deviation. There is also a kind of values ​​that are formed accordingly to the norms of society.

The interaction of the individual with the environment is diverse and only three of its features can influence the formation of supervalued ideas. A common option is the existence of inflated values ​​throughout life, which are aggravated in some situations leading to a similar outcome. Situations leading to the formation of supervalued ideas, are touched only by this person, others are perplexed by the reasons for this. Such exacerbations on absurd situations are typical for accentuants and even individuals with psychopathies. Due to an incorrect social formation, there are individuals jealous, extortionists of truth and chronically ill. It is these persons that are most easily overgrown with supervalued ideas. Most easily this kind of ideas are formed in paranoiac individuals, while a provocateur is usually a strong stress. Also, this behavior is characteristic of individuals who are infantile and easily persuaded. For such persons, the traumatic moment can not stand out excessively, it rather pushes the so-inclined individual. Also to the widespread reason carry presence at the person morbidly expanded values. This is the type of grafted ideas, when a person is ready for any baseness for the sake of different, in her opinion, the most important things( religion, family, etc.).

The individual at the same time is disharmonious, mentally shattered, does not get along in a world with adequate values, is not able to reconcile with everything. Sometimes these ideas are formed even when interacting with easily accentuated persons. Such people have some kind of psychopathy, but they are gradually becoming separated from it in the society. In such cases, the person needs to get rid of the negative impact. At the same time the very source of problems in excessive emotional perception.

And yet the most valuable ideas can also be found in a normal individual who has undergone a hyperbolized psychotrauma. After that, having reworked it in his perception, he transfers it to others.

Symptoms of overvalued ideas

Classification of supervalued ideas follows from the characterological radicals that influence their formation. A hysterical individual with weak shaky nerves has an easy switchability, which also affects the origins of the formation of ideas. In this case, the individual needs constant recognition and adoration, their artistry fascinates, allowing them to master creative careers. The goal of such individuals is to get the most attention, but they do not want to objectify anything. Their perception is so personal that coexistence with them causes considerable suffering. There are few people who are capable of sacrificing their entire life to constant adoration and scenes. These persons are very superficial, their life is like a breeze blowing, their principles are incomprehensible if one does not understand that the goal is self-manifestation. Such persons are most prone to overvalued ideas of jealousy, and they can also attribute some unfavorable traits to others who do not admire them.

The classification of overvalued ideas also includes an epileptoid radical, striving for leadership. Intolerance of such people is often combined with bouts of anguish and anger. They are very stuck individuals, so it's easy to identify their natural resilience to supervalued ideas. They are most characteristic of the overvalued ideas of the struggle for their interests, which they zealously support.

The classification of overvalued ideas also encompasses paranoid individuals, they have a dominant thought of their own importance, around which the idea of ​​persecution begins to spin. This kind of type has a narrow sphere of interests, which they have studied to the brim, it is here that they are constantly fixated. For such individuals everything is divided into friendly and hostile, they all suspect a desire to encroach on their importance and their whole life is wrapped up with these supervalued ideas. And the overvalued ideas of this type are very logical and reinforced by multiple arguments, which carries a considerable danger to those around them.

The unit of overvalued ideas also includes an emotive radical. This is more often very simple-minded and sociable people who have a small "minus", namely, they are people of mood( one idea, an event, any trifle, can greatly change the mood).Reasons for mood jumps are quite ridiculous and insignificant for others, it's just any little thing. Although they are easily switchable, they are greatly impressed by the catastrophe. It is against the background of the accidents they have experienced that they form supervalued ideas that have seen and experienced in their composition.

Types of supervalued ideas are also able to form in schizoid accentuants. These people are inclined to fantasy and continuous stay in their fantasy worlds. At the same time, the subtlety and analytical nature of mental processes allow them to create multiple variability of such ideas. The most common for them are the ideas of the relationship, as well as aristocracy and stiffness, which greatly drags them out and autosizes. Some types of supervalued ideas also manifest themselves in hypertimes, they are characterized by supervalued ideas of controversy, they are strongly susceptible to such a category because of their talkativeness. Alarming individuals have the same ideas, senselessly worried about trifles.

Treatment of overvalued ideas

All kinds of supervalued ideas, regardless of their content, are perfectly suited to psychotherapeutic techniques. Very effective, despite the duration, classical Freudian and Jungian psychoanalysis. This is due to the fact that overvalued ideas should not be treated with psychotropic drugs because of the insignificance of their psychotic symptoms, especially among accentuated individuals. Using psychotherapy, it is possible to deal with a specific radical of an individual, saving his personality from a whole host of problems. Such methods have a lot of means, the analysis of the patient, his statements, dreams, psychological aspects is used. Also used is cognitive, bichóveral behavioral psychotherapy, which has a less long-term but more rapid effect, not working with the basic personality, but affecting only behavioral aspects. For such persons, art therapy can be an excellent diversionary maneuver, which is associated with its multiple positive effects.

And yet, if the overvalued idea is the source in the structure of the neurosis, it makes sense to use separate medications. Tranquilizers may be used, but for a short time, to relieve an acute condition, since neurotic characters easily form a dependence on drugs with a strong tranvilizing-anxiolytic effect. Also suitable for such persons are herbal soothers of the Persen type and a moderate physio-labor regime. The regime of the day and nutrition also play a role and, of course, this is adequate support of relatives. The main thing is that they do not take their ideas to themselves.
