An emotional disorder is a type of personality disorder characterized by instability, impulsive actions without regard for consequences, and reduced control over one's behavior. General symptoms include a lack of self-control, an inability or unwillingness to follow generally accepted rules and norms due to insufficient self-control and impulsivity, and difficulty forming and maintaining relationships with other people.
Emotional disorders may respond to psychotherapy, and people who suffer from them can learn the necessary rules of interacting with society.
Two types of emotional disorders are distinguished:
The causes of emotional disorders are related to disturbances in CNS function and most often arise against the background of the following factors:
The first signs of emotional instability may appear in childhood or arise after exposure to the causes of the disorder.
An emotional disorder develops when there is an imbalance between the processes of excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system. Because the transmission of nerve impulses is accelerated, goal-directed behavior decreases and the emotional response becomes inadequate to the strength of the stimulus.
The nature of the signs of an emotional disorder depends on the type of disorder.
The impulsive type of emotionally unstable personality disorder is characterized by:
The symptoms of the impulsive type of emotional disorder are often accompanied by a tendency toward manipulation, excessive suspiciousness and unfounded jealousy.
In the borderline type, aggression toward others is less pronounced. Patients are prone to the following manifestations:
Dissocial personality disorder is characterized by:
Specialists also identify general symptoms of emotional disorders:
During gestation the hormonal background changes significantly and the manifestations of emotional dysregulation intensify. An unstable psycho-emotional state of a pregnant woman can negatively affect the fetus and the health of the future baby.
The lack of qualified help leads to various negative consequences of emotional disorders:
In emotional disorders, patients often have reduced motivation to improve their well-being and their relationships with society, and they need help from relatives to organize treatment.
If an emotional disorder is suspected, a consultation with a psychiatrist and a neurologist is recommended.
To diagnose emotional disorders, the doctor talks with the patient, studies his or her medical and life history, and asks additional questions. The findings are confirmed by the results of a test for emotional disorder. To avoid errors, an EEG is performed, and differential diagnosis is carried out for patients with epilepsy and borderline and histrionic personality disorder.
The treatment approach for emotional disorders is determined by the psychotherapist individually after a comprehensive examination. Drug therapy is not always prescribed, and medication is usually needed when the disorder is combined with depression or other mental disorders. The main treatment methods are cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Individual and group sessions are conducted by a psychotherapist and a psychologist. They teach patients self-control and help them understand their thoughts and psycho-emotional reactions.
Various physical therapy procedures can be a useful addition to psychotherapy and drug treatment:
Treatment may also be supplemented with music therapy and art therapy.
