Psychopathy is a mental personality disorder. As a result, there is a violation of character and behavior, rejection of social norms.
These disorders appear from birth or early childhood and continue throughout life. In this condition, the person himself and his environment suffers. Psychopathy can be observed in conjunction with mental illness and as an independent mental disorder.
The reasons for the development of this disorder are: pathology of pregnancy, trauma, infectious diseases at an early age, affecting the brain and nervous system (meningitis, encephalitis), intoxication, improper upbringing.
Psychopathy manifests itself in inadequate reactions to any situation that arises, extreme emotional experiences (shyness, resentment, vindictiveness, etc.). This mental disorder has several types, such as asthenic, psychasthenic, paranoid, schizoid, etc. They differ in the type of reaction, excitability. The difference also lies in how a person of one type or another endures physical activity, how quickly he gets tired.
In a state of remission, no treatment is required. In the period of exacerbation, measures of social and psychotherapeutic influence, drug treatment are carried out. Treatment is prescribed and administered by a psychiatrist. Prescribing drugs depends on the type of psychopathy. The prognosis for the treatment of this condition is favorable.
