Stupefaction (P.c.).

When mental disorders occur, the patient’s mental activity is disrupted, and in some cases, twilight stupefactions occur. Twilight stupefaction is considered a disorder that is accompanied by a loss of the reality of what is happening in the environment.

P.S. twilight is a special state of human consciousness, which is characterized by a violation of his mental activity. This phenomenon can be caused by various factors, such as stress, depression, overwork, alcohol or drug use and others. The twilight state of consciousness is a state of confused perception of environmental objects, as well as a poorly differentiated and distorted perception of time. This type of disorder occurs in acute mental illnesses, such as endogenous reactions of epileptiform origin or in a situation where a psychogenic syndrome occurs, which often happens during infectious processes or against the background of intoxication. Hallucinations can have both positive and negative properties. Thus, during an exacerbation of schizophrenia, the phenomenon can serve as a kind of impetus for the emergence of compensatory mechanisms at the psychotic level, helping to strengthen the position of the individual and increase his capabilities in adapting to the environment. This condition is sometimes confused with persecutory delusion, in which patients suffer mentally and physically from persecution. They seek help, feel depressed, suffer from nightmares, and experience insomnia. Delusional patients claim to be haunted by people from the past or present, including those they loved or hated. Due to their sincerity, absolute conviction of the rightness and obsession of ideas, such conditions require medical consultation from specialists (clinical psychologists).

Symptoms of twilight psychogenic clouding of consciousness: This is “causeless” (as the patient says) sudden aggression, tearfulness, irritability, intense diarrhea, attacks of defecation and urination. Patients complain of distortions in the perception of images and events; sometimes it seems to them that they are seeing everything around them for the first time. Stress has a very strong psychogenic effect on the functioning of the psyche. To achieve results in this condition, it is necessary to create comfortable conditions for the patient: provide him with complete rest, bed rest. You should not come close to the patient, as he may attack someone, hit someone, or smash furniture to pieces. If necessary, the doctor will give a referral for psychiatric hospitalization of the patient in a hospital, where he will be treated by highly qualified specialists in complete isolation from other patients.
