Disruption of Higher Nervous Activity

Disorders of higher nervous activity are disturbances that arise in the work of higher nerve centers responsible for our perception, emotions and reactions to the world around us. This nervous activity cannot function incorrectly, but can only either weaken or become excessively strong - and then a breakdown occurs that can manifest itself in many aspects of our lives.

There are two types of disorders of **higher nervous activity**.

The result is a temporary loss of sanity. After the situation returns to normal, the process of mental activity is gradually restored. Failures may be repeated. IN
