Mosaic psychopath. Defects in learning ability. Reading strengthens neural connections

ICD-10 defines anankastic personality disorder as a mental illness characterized by uncertainty in one's actions, an excessive tendency to doubt, suspiciousness, and a desire for perfection. Anankastas (people suffering from this disorder) often have certain obsessive states, lack a sense of humor, and have irresistible stubbornness. The most possible negative consequence of the disease is that such people may deviate from generally accepted norms of behavior and be unacceptable in society. Thus, it worsens the quality of human life, leads to conflict situations between the person and his immediate environment.

Anankastic personality disorder is characterized by uncertainty about one's actions and a tendency to doubt.

It is difficult to name the exact causes of mental illness, but there are factors leading to its onset and development:

• Genetic predisposition.
• Various traumatic brain injuries.
• Age-related changes in the human body.
• Hormonal adjustment.
• Illness as one of the signs of incipient schizophrenia or obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Sometimes, often repeated stressful situations, psychoemotional stress, the way and conditions of a person's life lead to such a state. The disease is usually diagnosed at a fairly young age. Its first signs can be seen in school-age children, when the child has excessive shyness, lack of confidence in his abilities, inability to take responsibility for himself and his actions.

Often, the disorder is accompanied by such mental illnesses as schizophrenia, autism, etc. It is important to seek professional help from a doctor with extensive experience in working with similar diseases, after which a diagnosis will be made and appropriate treatment prescribed.

Mental disorder can occur due to certain living conditions

Symptoms

Anankastic personality disorder is characterized by the following features:

• The agonizing and constant doubts of a person in the decisions made by him regarding absolutely any issue.
• Obsessive thoughts and daily thinking about events that have already happened, blaming yourself for making the wrong choice.
• Love for order, pedantry.
• Perfectionism, manifested in literally making everything better than it already is. All results achieved up to this point are considered not good enough and imperfect.
• Boredom, manifested in the fatigue of other people with their life position and the imposition of their thoughts.
• Extremely developed sense of duty, conscientiousness and scrupulousness.
• Failure to fully express your emotions and feelings towards another person.
• An obsessive desire for all other people to obey the same order as the person with the disorder.
• The emergence of certain actions, rituals, thoughts that a person repeats from day to day.
• Concentration at work, which is why such people have very few friends and acquaintances.
• Mistrust of any work to other people because of the fear that they will not do it so well and in good faith.

People with anankastic personality disorder tend to keep old things, even if no one needs them for a long time. There are certain difficulties in communicating with other people, as they annoy them, annoy them with their love of order. At the same time, it is worth noting the fact that people with such a disorder are rarely capable of deception, are good and responsible workers, remain faithful to their relatives and friends.

Anankastic disorder often manifests itself in boredom and excessive love of order, perfectionism

Diagnostics

If we talk about making a diagnosis, then this should be carried out only after appropriate observations of human behavior over a period of time. It is advisable to make a diagnosis when a person reaches the age of majority, since character traits inherent in young people in adolescence should also be taken into account.

To make an accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to take into account the following important aspects:

1. The manifestations of the disorder should be total, and not dependent on the circumstances.
2. Stability of symptoms that both were observed in adolescence and continue to be present in older age.
3. An excessive tendency to doubt, which cannot be confused with a person's everyday doubts in connection with life circumstances.
4. Unreasonable emergence of persistent thoughts that do not change over time.
5. The presence of perfectionism, which interferes with the fulfillment of the goals and objectives set for a person.

To identify such a disorder, you must seek the help of a qualified doctor.

An excessive tendency to doubt and the appearance of obsessive thoughts may indicate the presence of anankastic disorder.

Possible complications and danger

What is the threat of such a disease to human life and health? Possible complications mainly relate to the quality of human life. In other words, we can say that anankastic personality disorder leads to certain disturbances in human actions, conflicts with people around, and serious deviations from standard behavioral norms.

A person may not be accepted in society, they may not be perceived as a serious, adult interlocutor, others may make fun of him and make fun of him. If initially it does not look too dangerous and scary, then later it can lead to complete disintegration of the personality and disruption of social interaction. Such conditions easily lead to depression, loneliness, and then become the cause of the development of schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorders, manic-depressive psychoses, etc.

Immediate treatment is required, which involves an integrated approach. It should be understood that it is impossible to help here with any one medicine or a wonderful drink, the treatment should take place under the supervision of a specialist and should be supplemented with psychotherapeutic effects.

Treatment methods

Anankastic personality disorder is treated in a variety of ways. A doctor may suggest medication if the symptoms are severe and interfere with the person's normal quality of life. For this, the following drugs are used:

• Anxiolytics (tranquilizers).
• Antidepressants.
• Antipsychotics and other means to eliminate vegetative manifestations (anxiety, obsessive thoughts, headaches, etc.).
• Antipsychotics (psychotropic drugs used to treat psychotic disorders).

For treatment, first of all, psychotherapy and psychological assistance is required.

However, in no case should you dwell on these methods, because drugs are not a way out of a difficult situation. Medication only helps to get rid of the signs of the disorder for a while, but does not solve the main problem of its occurrence.

Doctors recommend full psychotherapeutic treatment, which involves establishing close contact between the specialist and the patient. Although it is quite difficult to do this, because people with anankastic disorder on an unconscious level try to avoid any treatment and communication with a stranger, they do not want to heed the advice of a doctor. At the same time, they consciously understand the need for treatment and agree with the methods offered by the doctor.

Psychotherapeutic treatment is aimed at eliminating uncertainty in a person's actions, a tendency to doubt, anxiety states that interfere with a full and high-quality life. The doctor conducts conversations with the patient, tries to determine the root cause of the disorder in order to be able to influence the patient.

Disorder prognosis

As mentioned in the article, anankastic disorder is often diagnosed at a young age, and then it continues throughout a person's life. It is impossible to speak unequivocally about the peculiarities of social and labor adaptation of all people with such a disease, because in each individual situation everything will depend on the severity of behavior and other factors.

It is difficult to completely get rid of the disorder, but many signs of the disease can be eliminated.

In most cases of personality disorder, some of the symptoms remain for the rest of their lives, but treatment still helps eliminate the most striking symptoms and adapt to social life. Thus, a person does not particularly stand out from the people around him, and the strange behavior, which nevertheless manifests itself at times, is attributed to character traits.

A special group of cognitive impairments is a specific learning disability (CHO). In the English language literature, these disorders are collectively referred to as learning disabilities. In the domestic literature, there is no generally accepted term for this group of developmental disorders. They are often identified with the concept of mental retardation (MAD). Sometimes you can find such designations as "school difficulties" or "school difficulties". It is clear that failure in school can be explained by various reasons - low motivation, pedagogical neglect, true mental retardation, diseases not related to the mental sphere, etc. School failure should not be confused with aids to learning.

Specific learning disabilities combine a number of cognitive disorders that interfere with schooling despite intact intelligence. Most often, there are difficulties in mastering basic school skills (reading, writing, counting).

The number of children experiencing serious learning difficulties, according to many experts, is about 20-30%. Of these, up to 20% falls on the share of specific violations of reading, counting, writing. This means that in each grade, about a quarter of children find it difficult to master the standard curriculum, and the main reason for this is specific developmental disabilities rather than poor diligence. Unfortunately, a lack of understanding on the part of teachers and parents leads to a decrease in self-esteem in such children and is often the cause of school maladjustment and deviant behavior. Considering that the number of children with AtoN throughout the world tends to increase, it becomes clear that the problem of early diagnosis and correction of AtoN is extremely acute. Psychogenetics did not stay away from this problem.

Among the various cognitive impairments that lead to difficulties in schooling, dyslexia (reading disability) is the most studied. Using dyslexia as an example, let us consider what approaches to the study of CHO are used in modern psychogenetics.

6. Dyslexia

Dyslexia, or congenital "verbal blindness," was first described in the mid-1890s. The main symptom of dyslexia is the inability to master reading, despite the intact intellect, the absence of visual and hearing impairments, or brain injuries. Dyslexia should not be confused with the child's unwillingness to learn to read due to inadequate pedagogical influence, reduced motivation, etc. The characteristic symptoms of dyslexia are the inability to dismember a word into phonemes and the inability to quickly name simple visual stimuli (objects, colors, letters, numbers). Dyslexics also often have mild but detectable visual and auditory impairments and some coordination problems. Dyslexia is thought to be caused by specific abnormalities in brain cells.

Even at the beginning of the twentieth century. it has been observed that cases of dyslexia are familial. In 1950, the first family study of dyslexia was conducted. Since then, genetic research into dyslexia has become systematic. Twin studies showed a higher concordance of MZ twins (68%) compared to DZ (38%). The results indicate the role of heredity and the general environment.

When calculating simple concordance, dyslexia is considered as a qualitative, alternative sign, but there is no doubt that dyslexia is a complex sign that requires quantitative assessment and the development of standard criteria. In this case, one of the main tasks is the development of methods for quantitative diagnostics and the determination of threshold estimates for the diagnosis. Unfortunately, it should be stated that unified psychometric criteria for dyslexia do not yet exist. This is due to variable symptoms, age-related changes, and the lack of a clear definition of dyslexia. Work in this direction continues. It is attended by psychologists, physiologists, physicians, and geneticists.

Despite the lack of generally accepted criteria for dyslexia, at the moment it is quite obvious that for genetic studies, dyslexia should be considered as a complex multifactorial trait with a threshold effect. It is unlikely that such a complex phenotype is determined by a single gene with a known function, although this cannot be considered a decisive argument in favor of the multifactorial nature of dyslexia.

Most studies in recent years show that single-gene disorders tend to be less common in the population and more severe. For example, the early form of Alzheimer's disease. Recently, a specific disorder associated with a single gene mutation has also been identified among speech disorders.

Not so long ago, a three-generational family was described, known as KE, in which there was a pronounced speech disorder of a specific nature (a special type of inarticulateness). This disorder was inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Using traditional linkage analysis, it was possible to map the gene over a small interval of the long arm of chromosome 7. Mutation analysis revealed a specific mutation in the FOXP2 gene, which is responsible for the synthesis of a protein, a transcription factor. The mutation was found in all affected members of the KE family, but among the other 270 children with various forms of speech disorders, no such defect was found in any case.

It must be admitted that genetic analysis of dyslexia is challenging. This is due, firstly, to the fact that there is no direct relationship between genotype and phenotype. Second, the phenotypic variability of dyslexia is extremely large and changes with age. For example, in adults, the defect is compensated, but the primary signs of dyslexia persist. Thirdly, there is no common understanding of what dyslexia is: is it a single feature or is it a whole cluster of disorders of individual abilities (phonological, spelling, ability to quickly name, etc.). As a consequence, different researchers use different experimental approaches to the study of dyslexia. The specificity of the language of the country in which the research is being conducted also leaves its mark (most of the work was carried out on English-speaking populations, but research is also being conducted in Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany). All this creates numerous difficulties for generalizing the results of the genetic study of dyslexia.

Twin and familial studies point to the role of heredity in the development of dyslexia. The first attempt to link the heritability of dyslexia with a specific chromosome was made in 1983. Using linkage analysis, it was possible to show that the centromeric region of chromosome 15 is a possible localization zone for dyslexia. In connection with the development of new technologies, searches for the loci responsible for this defect have been quite intensive lately. The connection of dyslexia with chromosome 6 has been shown (chromosome 6 and 15 are being targeted by many scientific groups). Linkage to regions 2, 3, and 18 of chromosomes has recently been identified.

The success of the work carried out in this plan will be determined by three main areas:

First, the creation of methods for mapping genes for quantitative traits associated with the speech sphere;

Second, the isolation and involvement in genetic research of more specific phenotypes that determine dyslexia;

Third, by creating opportunities for scanning the entire genome.

The main goal of the search for key genes is to try to penetrate into the molecular mechanisms of the pathology of dyslexia. In parallel, it will be possible to learn more about how reading and other normal speech processes are carried out. The identification of specific genes is not an end in itself. The next step is to find out their functions (functional genomics), i.e. functions of those products encoded by this gene: whether they are involved in cell metabolism and how, whether they are transcriptional regulators or structural proteins. For example, if the corresponding gene encodes a protein that is a membrane receptor, one can start looking for the agents with which it interacts and try to find ways to alter or interrupt signaling pathways. Identification of the genetic mechanisms responsible for the development of reading disorders and other speech processes will help to clarify the nature of the disorder at other levels (physiological, neuropsychological). All this will lead to a better understanding of the nature of dyslexia and will provide an opportunity for the development of methods for early diagnosis and correction of the disorder.

Dyslexia is one of the most complex systemic developmental disorders, which is currently most fully studied in psychogenetics. The example of dyslexia clearly shows the logic in which studies of the genetics of complex disorders and diseases are conducted. In addition to dyslexia and other specific cognitive impairments, modern psychogenetics pays great attention to studies of early childhood autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which also belong to systemic developmental disorders and are of interest due to the increasing occurrence among the child population.

A large number of people don't even notice that they are emotionally unhealthy. Some forms of behavior that people have developed over the years seem to be quite normal in our time. It is natural for a person to close his eyes to what is happening in his soul or in the whole body.

Listed below are the top ten signs of emotional distress.

Frequent thoughts “I will not succeed”, “I am not able to” lead to mental breakdown, and therefore to illness. You must always believe in yourself and in what you are doing.

It is common to say about such people that they "go with the flow." After all, they are afraid to make a decision out of fear that they will regret, and suddenly it was necessary to do it differently. Uncertainty in one's judgment leads to frustration and difficulty in living life to the fullest.

You easily get annoyed with those who have other political or religious views, while humiliating and insulting them. You are also convinced that people who disagree with your opinion should be punished.

Sometimes it happens that watching some kind of soulful movie, you can cry. But this has nothing to do with emotional distress. But if tears start to go for no reason, there is reason to worry. Most likely, this is caused by grievances from the past and prevents from now living in the present. It is worth leaving all the load and learning how to adequately respond to certain situations.

In childhood, everyone was taught not to offend other people, so as not to affect their feelings. But, unfortunately, in practice, some take these words literally and become whipping boys throughout their lives. You should not allow other people (husband, children, boss, etc.) to manipulate you, and force you to do more work, see less friends and so on. Learning to set boundaries is difficult, but it will help you stay physically healthy longer.

Lack of empathy for others

Unwillingness to put yourself in someone else's place always creates problems in the family and in life in general. For example, if your son has problems at school, you feel angry, not a desire to understand and understand what caused these problems.

Emotional illness can manifest itself in the absolute perception of only one's own opinion and at the same time complete disrespect for those who have a different point of view or do not have it at all.

Perpetual dissatisfaction is expressed in constant thoughts about people or things that piss you off or have done badly to you. Then revenge becomes the main theme in life, there are thoughts about how to take revenge, or harm the offender. It is worth remembering that chronic anger raises blood pressure, interferes with normal blood flow, irritates the stomach, and leads to illness.

The state of regret is a person's tendency to constantly think and worry about the past, what was said or done wrong, mentally returning to those moments that were painful. All of this is detrimental to both emotional and bodily health. Better to think about how to deal with similar situations in the future.

Finally, constant worry is another major symptom of emotional distress. It is characterized by a state of prolonged excitement, sleep disturbance. Interferes with functioning adequately at work, school, or at home. It must be remembered that anxiety undermines health.

Psychopathy is a borderline condition between mental illness and mental health. One of its varieties is mosaic psychopathy. Surely everyone knows what a mosaic is. These are pieces of dissimilar elements collected together. So this disease is named in this way, since the patient has signs of several types of psychopathies at once. By the way, there is a version that such historical figures as Ivan the Terrible, Hitler, Stalin, Putin and other dictators suffered from this disease.

General description of the disease

Psychiatrists who study this condition have given the definition of mosaic psychopathy. Otherwise, this disease is called mixed personality disorder, in which there is a predominance of some or other psychopathological manifestations, but the main psychopathological syndrome is unstable, and can be observed only occasionally. Unlike many mental disorders, this type of psychopathy is practically not cured and accompanies a person throughout his life.

At the same time, modern psychiatrists believe that this disease can be considered congenital, that is, it cannot develop in adulthood. As for the reasons, presumably these are birth trauma to the head or congenital underdevelopment of the brain. With a mosaic type of psychopathy, the diverse symptoms in their totality prevent a person from adapting normally in society and meeting the psychosocial expectations of other people.

Is this mosaic type disease dangerous? Of course, yes, and first of all for the patient himself, because a combination in a person's character of such traits as excessive irascibility, hysteria, instability, disorder of drives, etc. can lead to various addictions, for example, to alcoholism and drug addiction, as well as to sexual, gambling and other addictions.

"Overvalued ideas" for mosaic psychopathy

There is a kind of mosaic psychopathy, in which a person combines not only the symptoms of various types of psychopathy, but also schizophrenia. Such a mixture of traits can lead to the emergence of so-called overvalued ideas in a person, which the patient wants to implement at all costs. Any idea that arises in his head gets special significance in his eyes. Therefore, they can spend all their strength and energy on their implementation.

People who suffer from this disease find it difficult to find a common language with others. However, unlike apathetic and depressed individuals who withdraw into themselves, it is very difficult to communicate with people of this type. It's not even easy to be in the same room with them. They are able to infuriate even very calm people.

Diagnosis and picture of the disease

Psychiatry deals with identifying and treating mental illness in patients. However, even the most experienced specialists sometimes find it difficult to diagnose mosaic psychopathy, since the signs refer not to one specific species, but to several at once, and in different variations. Sometimes, after the first examination, the psychiatrist may think that this is not psychopathy, but schizophrenia. In addition, the symptoms are constantly changing, that is, they are unstable, and only a highly qualified specialist can make an accurate diagnosis. With this type of disease, the patient may experience a combination of paranoid disorders with increased irascibility.

Other signs are constant complaints about injustice towards oneself on the part of everyone and everything, as well as about the dishonesty of others, for example, housing and communal services, teachers at school, medical staff, etc. Such people can go to court for any reason, and in case of an inconvenient sentence for them, they will appeal the court's decision for a long time.

Quite often, with mosaic psychopathy, a patient has a combination of fundamentally opposite types: hysteroid, excitable, schizoid and asthenic. This dangerous mixture of symptoms can lead to the development of schizophrenia. By the way, today in the Internet space you can find many alternative options for diagnosing this disease, and these primarily include the online mosaic psychopathy test. Psychiatrists themselves can also operate with such tests. However, in determining the diagnosis, first of all, the doctor should be based on the study of the patient's behavior, on the symptoms. Indeed, answering the test questions, the patient may be insincere.

List of symptoms

By studying the character and behavior of many of the great dictators, psychiatrists came to the conclusion that some of them, namely Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Putin and others, suffered from this mental illness. In recent years, domestic psychiatrist Dmitry Shchigelsky made a similar diagnosis to the current president of Belarus. He also described all the symptoms that are observed in Mr. Lukashenko and which may be characteristic of such a disease as psychopathy of the mosaic circle (type). These include the following features:

• craving for manipulating the people of their environment;
• self-centeredness;
• the idea of ​​a "Conspiracy" theory that directly affects them;
• excessive suspicion;
• inadequacy in the perception of the world
• putting forward “overvalued” ideas that must be implemented;
• strongly overestimated self-esteem;
• pathological bragging;
• non-admission of one's own guilt;
• distortion of the truth for their own selfish purposes;
• lack of feelings such as sympathy and empathy, and sometimes sadistic inclinations;
• inability to take responsibility;
• pessimism;
• the desire to “step into the same water twice,” that is, the inability to benefit from negative experiences;
• lack of friends and associates;
• inability to love;
• difficulties in communicating with people.
• disdain for social norms, etc.

Treatment paths

In some cases, mosaic psychopathy can be cured with medication. But psychiatrists resort to this type of treatment only in very serious cases of the disease, when the patient experiences mental suffering, especially when contacting people around him, as a result of which conflict situations arise. The choice of drugs depends on which type of psychopathy prevails.

For example, when observing a patient with increased excitability, which can lead to hostile actions towards people, as well as the emergence of completely delusional and obsessive ideas, antipsychotics are certainly prescribed, and in combination with sedatives. And for patients suffering from rapid mood swings, treatment is carried out by means of anticonvulsants. The goal of the doctor is to direct the patient's treatment in such a way in order to avoid exacerbation of the patient's condition and the progression of the disease.

Sometimes a psychiatrist has to treat such patients with tranquilizers (in case of extreme excitability) or, conversely, prescribe antidepressants. Naturally, during the period of taking drugs, it is necessary to completely abandon the intake of alcohol and drugs. If the disease is milder, the psychiatrist can only prescribe vitamins.

Mosaic psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by the presence of a large number of characteristics in a person that are characteristic of different types of psychopathy.

It leads to pronounced problems with adaptation in society. The psychopathic syndrome in mixed type disorder has an extremely unstable character with a predominance of one or the other manifestations of psychopathy, or it is not at all identifiable.

The heterogeneity of the symptoms characteristic of mosaic psychopathy is the reason that a person has significant difficulties in adapting to life in society: it is difficult for him to follow the unspoken social norms and rules that prevail in society.

Symptoms

A person suffering from mosaic psychopathy can be compared to the character of the Thomas Harris book Hannibal Lector, although it is worth noting that sociopathy is characterized by a large number of inherent features and many of them overlap with the disorder in question:

• inability to empathize with other people;
• weakly expressed emotional component of the personality;
• an overestimated level of disgust both to oneself and to other people, as well as to various smells, dirt and blood;
• inability to experience remorse, lack of guilt;
• sometimes a sociopath is characterized by a lack of fear;
• irresponsible behavior;
• criticism of other people because of events that happened through their own fault: despite the fact that a patient with mosaic psychopathy can admit that he is wrong, he will not feel any regret at the same time;
• extreme insincerity, deceit;
• deliberate distortion of facts in their favor;
• extreme egocentrism;
• praising your own merits;
• desire to live at the expense of others;
• inability to realize long-term goals and organize your day;
• increased level of aggressiveness;
• predisposition to violence.

Mosaic psychopathy can consist of all types of disorders, combined with each other in the most unusual way and able to coexist within one person. So, a personality can be characterized by the following features:

• narcissism, vulnerability;
• intolerant attitude towards criticism, increased level of excitability;
• the need for universal acceptance;
• extremely negative attitude towards life or, conversely, unreasonably positive;
• tendency to hysterics;
• weakness, susceptibility to suggestions;
• inflexible thinking, excessive straightforwardness;
• restlessness and distrust;
• a tendency to strange behavior;
• a tendency to generate overvalued ideas;
• tendency to avoid responsibility;
• rancor, avoidance of people;
• secretive behavior;
• a tendency to whims and vindictiveness;
• refusal to make decisions.

Combinations of different types of psychopathies

The combination of hysteria, instability of character and disorders of attraction can cause a number of addictions in a person, for example, dependence on games, drugs or alcohol.

Mixed personality disorder combines schizoid and psychasthenic traits, which entail the emergence of overvalued ideas in a person. In fact, these are absolutely ordinary thoughts, which the patient raises to the degree of especially significant and tries to carry them out without fail.

Such people experience serious difficulties in adapting to life in society, since they do not have the skill of establishing contacts with new people, but at the same time they always and everywhere try to implement their obsessive thoughts, which seem to them brilliant.

When paranoid type disorders are layered on excessive irascibility in a person, behavior is fully manifested, the basis of which is an unhealthy desire to achieve recognition of his opinion as the only correct one, involving various social institutions.

The basis of the life of such individuals is the constant struggle for their "oppressed" views: appeals to the court, complaints to various instances, and the result is always the challenge of any decision of these instances, which will often go against the patient's opinion

Most specialists should be alerted by the situation when a person combines initially incompatible signs of various disorders (for example, increased excitability and asthenia), since in this case there is a high probability that the disorder will eventually develop into schizophrenia.

Layering of organic personality disorder

In practice, there are situations when elements of organic personality disorder are superimposed on congenital mixed type psychopathy. This anomaly is acquired in nature. Often, diseases, the impact of which on the brain leads to serious disruptions in its work, are the cause of a significant distortion of the existing human personality.

Organic personality disorder (psychopathy) is most often formed under the influence of craniocerebral trauma, epileptic seizures, infections of the central nervous system caused by viruses and bacteria, and alcohol dependence.

After joining an already existing mixed disorder of brain diseases, a person who already has difficulties in communicating with others becomes even more unbearable. In this case, signs of the disease may appear, such as the appearance or intensification of instability of emotions, unreasonable anger or joy, inability to take purposeful actions. At the same time, a person constantly repeats the same thing, but speaks for a long time and reasonably. Sometimes in these conversations, the presence of delusional ideas is clearly traced.

Treatment

Pure mosaic psychopathy does not need treatment; medical assistance is needed only for exacerbations of personality disorders, characterized by the appearance of depression, the emergence of obsessive ideas and a pronounced arousal.

When an organic personality disorder is superimposed on an already present mixed psychopathy, the compulsory treatment is not subject to any doubts. Its main task in this case is the regression of the disease to the level at which a person maximally preserves his adaptability to society.

Based on the symptoms that appear, specialists can prescribe antipsychotic drugs, powerful sedatives (tranquilizers), drugs to combat depression and mood stabilizers, as well as vitamin complexes.
