A problem that cannot be distinguished between reality and unreality can actually happen in everyday life, but if it gets serious, it can be a psychopathic disorder. This time, I’m going to talk in detail about this psychotic disorder that consists of schizophrenia and so on.
Misperception of perception created by thought
The boundary between reality and unreality blurs
A mental illness that represents psychopathic disorder is schizophrenia. In addition, there are several mental illnesses included in this psychotic disorder, such as paranoid disorder.
Whether that is real or unrealistic, we often confuse that perception. An easy-to-understand example is when a parent reads and tells a ghost story to a child. A child who is completely shaken by his parents’ story can remember it when he sleeps alone and scream loudly at the rustling of leaves created by the wind reflected on the window. Of course, this is a problem that can only be done because we are children, but in fact, we have a psychological tendency to believe in what we want to believe and see, or a kind of bias.
This is also the case with UFO’s eyewitnesses. Most of them are officially misidentified. As for the background of such misunderstanding, for example, ‘UFO exists, so if something unclear is abundant in the sky, it is UFO’ may have been in the eyes of the witness. So what I’m trying to say here is that these thoughts in your head can be the reason why mistakes occur when you perceive something. Both in the case of the preceding child and in this case of misidentification of UFO, it is basically a level of problem that can happen to everyone in their daily lives. In some cases, however, the level of the problem can be so severe that it is impossible to live in daily life. Such a situation is generally considered to be a mental illness, especially a psychopathic disorder.
This time, I will explain this psychotic disorder in detail, which can be described as an unrealistic mixture of reality as a basic knowledge of mental illness.
If reality is mixed with unreality, there is also a possibility of psychopathic disorder.
First of all, the ‘psychotic’ of a psychopathic disorder basically means a state in which unreality is mixed in the reality that the person experiences every day. Specifically, the question of hearing a voice that should not be heard or being sure that something ridiculous is happening is what the word “psychotic” means.
So a psychotic mental experience is something that can happen sometimes, though not in many cases in daily life. In addition to the examples I mentioned at the beginning, for example, looking at other people’s gestures, I felt like I was applying something to myself, or, sadly, when I just lost someone, I suddenly heard the voice of the dead clearly in my ear. But it’s mostly a temporary problem. Then it’s not a situation that requires treatment in a psychiatrist.
In some cases, however, hallucinations and delusions continue to appear, thus making normal life impossible at all. In that situation, something serious is happening in the brain. In other words, there is an urgent medical problem in the brain. To be more precise, the person’s brain is experiencing an urgent psychiatric problem. And that’s the situation in which psychiatric disorders are generally diagnosed.
