Psychopathy: Symptoms and Species

Psychopathy is a very complex manifestation of the human psyche. It is a stable property and character traits of human thinking and behavior. As a rule, psychopathy, the symptoms of which are deviation character, creates great difficulties for its socialization, in some cases, they become insurmountable. Manifestations of psychopathy complicate the most important thing in the process of socialization of a person - the identification of self-consciousness, which can result in the loss of behavioral benchmarks and value criteria.

Medical literature and practice classifies types of psychopathy into congenital and acquired ones. The first are the consequence of various kinds of hereditary diseases and mutations, the treatment of these species is extremely difficult, especially when they are latent (hidden) in nature. Acquired psychopathy occurs in cases of damage to the central nervous system, arising for reasons of both social and medical nature (the consequences of any disease).

People who have psychopathy, the symptoms of which are easily observed from the outside, are usually under constant medical control, are limited in the choice of the type of work activity. In addition to disharmony, an unstable type of character, inadequate behavior in the most ordinary life situations, these individuals are easily recognized by a high level of vulnerability, resentment, a kind of reaction to what is happening.

In medicine, there is a classification of types of psychopathy, which, among the main, distinguishes the following:

- the schizoid form is a psychopathy, the symptoms of which are manifested in the closed nature of a person, are characterized by an emphasis of egocentricity and excessive official relations in relations even with close people. Such people, as a rule, prefer solitude, avoid dating or are afraid before them, show signs of autism. In some cases, schizoid psychopathy can result in unfounded cruelty, therefore, as psychiatry claims, it is important for such people to establish a so-called psycho-aesthetic proportion - a parameter characterizing the degree of compatibility, that is, a peculiar combination of unjustifiably high sensitivity to the environment and the level of rigidity manifested in ordinary behavior with Surrounding.

- The psychasthenic appearance is manifested in the exaggeratedly dubious behavior of a person. Indecisiveness, uncertainty about one's own feelings, decisions and actions, and inactivity itself are the signs that psych psychiatric psychopathy suggests. Such people are not socially dangerous or unpredictable in their actions, moreover, they can be excellent performers, because, as a rule, they are very pedantic, responsible. These signs are more acute and obvious in psychasthenic patients when they have to enter unfamiliar living conditions or unfamiliar situations. Sometimes this form is manifested in the refocusing of attention due to high fatigue from performing any actions, in the correctness of which this person doubts.

- affective psychopathy is manifested in a person's obsession with some, often irrational idea. Such people are changeable in their mood, the emotional accompaniment of their actions is not always adequate to the event.

- Paranoid psychopathy occurs as a result of a progression of the affective. Its attributes may be despotism and secrecy, completely unjustified cruelty, obsessive ideas, and all this can be accompanied by persistent in time and acute by the nature of the course of affect behavior.

- hysterical psychopathy, its symptoms are most explicative (observable from the outside). They can manifest themselves even in clothes, slang, relationships, and everything in order to emphasize their "distinctness" from others and their importance. In some cases, hysteria can acquire a very acute character, which is accompanied by cries, inadequate gestures, trembling of hands and ending very hard - loss of speech and even consciousness

The above classification can not act as a criterion one, medical practice shows that in a person there can be simultaneously symptoms that belong to different types of disease.
