Psychological deviations that have become the norm in modern society

[CarderPlanet]

Untidiness​

By psychiatric standards, untidiness is indicative of a severe psychiatric disorder. It can be found in such nervous disorders as dementia, depression, schizophrenia, increasing dementia, alcoholism, and forbidden addiction. Here we mean not “situational” or temporary sloppiness associated with a lack of time or energy, but sloppiness as part of the image. And such a phenomenon is taking place today. Because ripped jeans, different lengths of coats and dresses, incorrectly buttoned buttons and other "disruptions in neatness" are part of the image of many young people.

The cult of sex​

The media is the main "conductor" of the cult of sex to the masses.

Humorous programs, films, advertisements and even cartoons - everything is saturated with the idea of sexual liberation.

What remains hidden for normal people is now being brought up for public viewing and discussion.

Intimate shame is considered a relic of the Middle Ages.

But isn't this a sign of the moral degeneration of society?

From the point of view of specialists, this is not only the imposition of all sorts of perversions like voyeurism (when they show what is happening in other people's bedrooms), but also the popularization of sexopathological deviations that are part of psychopathology.

Moreover, the promotion of sex in the form of lectures and stories about the so-called safe sex provokes in the younger generation the neglect of family and marriage relations, which are one of the important components for a person with a healthy psyche. In the absence of a marriage relationship, mental disorders are inevitable, which generally leads to the degradation of society.

The cult of money and luxury​

We live in a time when a person can neglect the most necessary in order to buy something that will impress others. Whether it's a new car, a fur coat or an iPhone.

A person is judged by his financial position, his spiritual values fade into the background. Spiritual hunger in this case is satisfied not by working on one's complexes, but by acquiring, filling the outer space.

Against this background, it is interesting that the lowest number of suicides is found in poor countries, while an increase in material well-being in Europe was accompanied by an increase in the number of suicides.

The "consumer" attitude towards a person, in which he is perceived through the prism of his well-being, leads to complexes and mass neuroses.

The cult of success​

Every person wants to be successful.

But success that does not serve to satisfy not only material, but also spiritual needs of a person often leads to depression.

“A successful person at a psychologist's appointment” - today it has become the rule, rather than the exception.

In modern society, they made an idol out of success, which people worship, forgetting themselves. And it seems that there would be nothing wrong with this, if all sorts of things that are far from success, for example, such as money, fame, honor, etc., were not “shoved” into this concept.

After all, success is, first of all, a state of mind, and not what others think of you.

A person should and can strive for success, but it is important to have a clear idea of its content. Because when, buying a shiny wrapper, we waste our life and energy on rotten stuffing, this ultimately leads to disappointment, unfortunately, mental disorders and suicides. One cannot but recall the excessive rationalism characteristic of those very "successful" ones.

Rationalism, which is presented as pragmatism.

This is also one of the hallmarks of schizophrenia.

Since, contrary to popular belief, schizophrenia is characterized not by irrationality, but, on the contrary, by excessive rationality, which excludes feelings of empathy for others.

Narcissism​

Each century has had its own "fashionable" mental deviations.

If even at the beginning of Freud's practice these were disorders of a hysterical nature, in our time narcissism has become "fashionable".

Perhaps this is due to the development of technology, capable of "uniting" people from almost all over the world into a single Internet community.

If earlier, for self-affirmation and universal recognition, people had to work, invent, create for years, today people do not need to go to such feats, enough successful photos and beautiful pages.

But narcissism isn't just about social media.

In the preface to the book “Hell's Web.

How to survive in a world of narcissism "Sandy Hotchkis writes:" It's hard to say anything new about narcissism.

There have always been empty, greedy, manipulative people with an inflation-prone self-image who did not take other people's interests into account.

It is the extent to which the psychological flaws of other people are universally acclaimed in modern culture.

In our time, in the modern era, narcissism is not only tolerated - it is approved and praised. Many of our leaders and our beloved public figures show off their narcissistic tendencies, and we can't wait to emulate their exceptionalism.

Their outrageous behavior does not leave us indifferent and seems to us charming and attractive, and therefore we allow ourselves to "admire" them.

Until we learn to recognize which behavior is healthy and which is not, we will walk in a fog, and the statement that "everyone does this" will not help those who are going downhill to justify themselves. "

Narcissism is a violation, on the altar of which not only actions are raised that cause amazement, shock, interest in society, but also noble deeds, such as charity, helping one's neighbor, loyalty to ideals, etc.
