Korsakova Design

Korsakov's dysnoia is an acute state of confusion in which the memorization and reproduction of speech is impaired, and there is no criticism. The clinical picture is similar to Dementia of the Alzheimer's type. Perhaps a chronic course, the deterioration is not accompanied by a pronounced violation of criticism. In the somnambulistic state, automatisms are observed. Korsakoff dysnia is characterized by an abrupt onset in the form of intoxication of various etiologies and the development of deep prostration. At the height of the cognitive defect, de



Korsakoff's dysthenia (lat. Dysthenia corona radiata) is an outdated name for one of the mental disorders, known today under the Latin name "Korsakoff's disease" or "subtype K disorder" (corpus callosum dysfunction). Currently, this disorder belongs to the group of frontal (dominance in the localization of the lesion) dementias, the main symptom of which is dysosmia, hallucination and illusion, along with aphasia, dyspraxia and apoplexy.

Korsakov dysensia (serous-vascular lesion of the cerebral cortex) with a lesion center and focal symptoms in the area from the parietal to the prefrontal lobe, is often accompanied by cognitive impairment in the form of memory loss and impaired ability to structure behavior and interaction with the environment. All this led to the fact that in the past the disease was considered a mental defect in men between 35 and 60 years of age and in the early 19th century was called the “mental disorder of Korsakoff's disease” or “mental defect”.

The name comes from the psychiatrist Sergei Sergeevich Korsakov, who described this condition in 1887 and identified such main symptoms as changes in consciousness, memory weakness, speech impairment, convulsions and nystagmus. But in some cases, the main manifestation of this disorder may be a loss of judgment and awareness of the world around us.

As the disease progresses, symptoms may include changes in mental status, personality disturbances, loss of orientation and perception of reality. The most common symptoms are memory loss, problems making decisions, impaired motor coordination and decreased emotional tone. The total duration of this illness usually ranges from several weeks to several months.

People with Korsakoff dysensia may experience some difficulty in self-care activities such as thinking, making decisions, and performing certain actions. As with other diseases, recovery time depends on the severity of the disease and timely treatment measures taken.
