Getting angry frequently, throwing things or even hurting people? Doctors reveal warning signs of “borderline psychopathic syndrome”

If you often get angry, conflict with others, or offend others, making it difficult to get along with others, you should pay attention to whether you have borderline psychopathic syndrome. Doctors said that these people have extreme mood swings, they do not follow external restrictions and are unable to stop themselves from hurting others or destroying things. Their loss of control is short-lived but intense, which may be related to innate genetics or developmental environment. Clinically, a multi-pronged approach such as behavior analysis and drug treatment will be used to help improve the impact on life.

A 20-year-old man who often had a violent temper. Whenever something went wrong or he was disappointed, he would become angry and even attack others. His self-discipline and self-control were poor and he became violent. He often quarreled with his girlfriend. After several fierce verbal disputes, his girlfriend couldn’t bear it and asked for medical treatment to improve, otherwise she would have a breakdown, so she came to the psychiatric department for treatment. After several outpatient visits, he was diagnosed with borderline psychopathic syndrome.

Chen Jiaju, chief physician of the Department of Mind and Psychiatry at Shutian Clinic, said that the characteristics of borderline psychopathic syndrome include: high mood swings, prone to impulsivity and anger, difficulty in getting along with others, frequent conflicts with others, and becoming angry when faced with setbacks. Such people often have no sense of boundaries and do not follow external constraints. They cannot tolerate hurting others, hurting them, and destroying things. The period of emotional loss may be short-lived, but it is strong, and it occurs repeatedly, causing detrimental effects on life adaptation.

Chen Jiajue noted that the causes of borderline psychopathic syndrome may be related to innate genetic predisposition, development and education, and living environment. Congenital refers to a family history that makes it more likely to occur. The second is that the area in the person’s brain responsible for emotional control functions abnormally; Or the person has not learned to express and regulate emotions appropriately during the development process, has not established a positive sense of boundaries in life, cannot appropriately distinguish between what should be done and what should not be done, has not received support and recognition for a long time, or may have experienced emotional trauma in childhood, such as abuse, long-term neglect, and frequent criticism.

Treatment requires a multi-pronged approach. Chen Jiajue said that medically, it would depend on the circumstances of the case. Behavior analysis and therapy will be used to help establish a sense of boundaries, gradually reduce the state of emotional harm, control behavior, establish self-control, introspection, and the ability to coordinate personal and public boundaries; Furthermore, it will be combined with drug treatment. Through regular follow-up treatment, borderline psychosis syndrome can be improved and reshaped, thereby reducing its negative impact on life and preventing serious crisis outcomes.

Chen Jiajue reminded that patients with borderline psychopathic syndrome often need to seek medical treatment because of conditions that seriously affect others. It is recommended that the public, if they find that there are adult relatives and friends around them who obviously lose control of their emotions, become angry, or even hurt others or themselves, or do not follow the rules and obviously harm themselves or others, they can come directly to the hospital or assist them in seeking medical treatment. Timely intervention in medical treatment can prevent unexpected crisis and deterioration, and can also actively help people get along with each other in daily life.
