Concept and symptoms
Personality disorder (mental disorder) is a manifestation of behavioral tendencies characterized by a sharp deviation from accepted norms due to a distorted perception of objective reality. Transient personality disorder - TRD - is a mental disorder that occurs as a result of severe moral shock or stress. TRL does not lead to the formation of persistent personality pathology, i.e. is not a serious mental illness and does not lead to permanent changes in perception and consciousness.
Transient personality disorder is defined by the duration of characteristic symptoms from 1 day to 1 month. If symptoms last for more than a month, a more severe mental disorder, such as schizophrenia, is diagnosed. The main symptoms of transient disorder are the following: loss of orientation in space and time, hallucinations, delusions, impaired speech correctness (disorganized speech), catatonic (disorganized, inappropriate) behavior, in some cases, catatonic stupor. Usually one of the above symptoms appears, and not all at the same time. In the presence of symptoms lasting a month, acute psychosis usually lasts no more than 1 or 2 weeks, and then symptomatic relief occurs.
Causes and treatment
The causes of transient personality disorder are aggravated long-term stress or severe neuro-emotional shock. Prolonged stress usually results from the following situations:
- daily overstrain - for example, due to a nervous situation at work or a conflict situation at home, quarrels with loved ones;
- long waiting for an important event or someone's decision in relation to the subject;
- a tiring trip or journey;
- going through the divorce process;
- forced parting with family, friends or loved one;
- domestic violence;
- being in places of deprivation of liberty, etc.
A nervous-emotional shock can occur for the following reasons: death of a loved one, bankruptcy, sudden dismissal, betrayal, failure in personal life, etc. In addition to these reasons, transient personality disorder can occur as a result of accumulated psychological disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, anxiety, and permanent confusion. In such cases, TRP usually begins with an acute absurdity.
