Disorder of the Boundaries of the Self (Syn. Disorder of the Demarcation of the Self)

In today's world, mental disorders are a serious problem that many people face. Among the various types of self-disorders, there is a special category known as self-boundary disorder or syn. disorder of self demarcation. This condition is characterized by the loss of a clear distinction between one’s own “I” and the outside world and can be accompanied by various symptoms, including alienation of mental activity, mental automatism, delusional disorders and even the development of autism.

Self-disorder is a complex and multifaceted mental condition. People suffering from this disorder have difficulty defining their identity and distinguishing their thoughts, feelings and perceptions from the outside world. They may feel alienated from their own emotions and actions, as if they are watching themselves from the outside. This can lead to a loss of sense of personal identity and a limited ability to interact with others.

Often mental alienation is accompanied by mental automatism, when a person experiences the feeling that his thoughts and actions are controlled by external forces or are beyond his own control. This may manifest as intrusive thoughts, voice commands, or a sense of control over one's body. As a result, patients may experience fear and anxiety, and an inability to make decisions or feel free to act.

Delusional disorders may also be associated with a disorder of self boundaries. People may develop incorrect beliefs or illusions that may be related to their own personality or perception of the world around them. This can lead to a distorted reality and limit a person’s ability to adequately perceive and analyze information.

Some studies link disordered self boundaries to the development of autism. Autism is a complex neurological disorder



**The syndrome of “demarcation” disorder, or disorder of the boundaries of the “inner self,” is characterized, like schizophrenia, by the fact that patients lack a clear, clear awareness of themselves. Neuropathological findings and developmental studies in these patients do not reveal any abnormalities.**
