What is disorientation?
According to medical terminology, disorientation is a mental and neurological disorder. This state is characterized by a loss of the ability to formulate thoughts (think), perform actions (do ordinary things), navigate and self-awareness (the person does not recognize himself and does not understand who he is). The patient cannot realize or remember how he ended up in the place where he is and does not remember previous events; the person is not oriented in time, disoriented in space.
Only a doctor can determine the exact diagnosis and type of disease. This is due to the fact that the causes of disorientation are many and completely different. The source of the problem may be in the brain, a mental disorder, or related to the endocrine system.
The medical definition of spatial disorientation includes several varieties:
● Topographical disorientation; ● Topographic agnosia; ● Topographical disorientation; ● Topographagnosia.
Disorientation in psychiatry is divided into several types:
● Spatial; ● Temporary; ● Real; ● Social.
Personal disorientation implies a division into types, depending on the reasons that provoked the illness:
● Autopsychic. A person is not aware of his personality, does not understand who he is and from what social class. At the same time, he may completely or partially lose memories, experience emotional shock, be nervous and stressed.
● Allopsychic. In this case, the connection with reality disappears only in the area of the calendar date and geographical location. He does not remember the year, date, month and cannot say where he is (he was until recently).
● Amnestic. Combines the two previous types. Occurs due to loss of memories. The patient does not recognize himself in the reflection and in the photo, is unable to talk about his own habits and cannot characterize himself as a person.
● Somatopsychic. In this case, a person does not perceive his own body as something integral. He may believe that he has someone else’s arm or leg or some other physiological part of the body.
● Delusional. In this case, reality in the mind is replaced by illusions, fantasies, and fictitious ideas about the environment.
Disoriented Disoriented
Disorientation as a personality quality is a tendency to lose correct orientation in the world, to a false, illusory worldview; inability to understand oneself and people.
The man got tired of the cat, and he took him to the forest, somewhere far away, but the cunning cat returned... And this happened several times. Finally, the stubborn man took him very far, into the wilderness. He swerved all the way, confusing his tracks to disorient the cat. As a result, he got lost and sat on a tree stump, completely disoriented. He calls his wife at home: - Has the cat come? - Yes! He eats with appetite. - Well, call him to the phone...
Disorientation is a collection of misconceptions. Disorientation is a dystrophy of the mind. The mind performs the function of analysis, comparison, comparison. It is he who answers the questions of how to do the right thing, what needs to be done, and what absolutely cannot be done. A disoriented person has a frail, stunted mind. He, being already an adult, cannot correctly answer what is good and what is bad. He is unable to explain who he is philosophically, much less tell people where he comes from and where he is going.
Paradise for disorientation is a weak mind that allows itself to be dominated by insatiable, capricious feelings, a lustful mind and a false ego preoccupied with its own toughness. A slave to deceptive feelings is always disoriented. Feelings and the mind often mislead a person. They want to have fun. For the sake of their own pleasures, they deceive the frail mind. This leads to disorientation in decision making. A person, disoriented by deceiving feelings, blindly does what they tell him.
In a word, he understands when he takes it out.
Ah, youth, youth! For the sake of a skirt, selflessly and suddenly the soul rushes into actions guided from the trousers.
Psychologist Oleg Torsunov asks the question: “What does decline in intelligence mean?” This means that a person cannot figure out what is good and what is bad to do, how to communicate correctly with other people, what events will happen in the future, and how to relate to them. He becomes completely disoriented in life, he does not understand anything. He does not understand what is happening around him, what is happening to his children, what is happening to his husband and wife. He is completely disoriented. Because he receives such strength within himself that makes him like this. All this comes from our desires, as we wanted, that’s what we got. Therefore, a person must choose an active position in life.
A disoriented person is either disoriented, or goes towards false goals, usually not towards his own, but towards strangers. A disoriented person goes through life like a naughty person, she does not have her own path, her own big goal. She resembles a city dweller lost in the taiga.
The boy got lost in the forest. He didn't know what to do or where to go. And I was even about to cry. But then I pulled myself together, plucked up my courage, climbed a big tree and saw my way.
A purposeful, harmonious, holistic, mature person is always correctly oriented. Philosopher Vladimir Tarasov asks: “Where can we find such a tree so as not to get lost in life?” There is such a tree - this is our big goal. But it must be really big, like this tree... A big goal helps you see your path. We recognize him: yes, there he is, how did I not realize this?! We will recognize it immediately, if there is a big goal. A man of great purpose knows his way. A person who does not have a big goal does not know his path. This is a worthless person... . A person who has seen the path is not the master of his own destiny. Now the path chooses him. Now the path dictates what to do and what not to do. The path controls him. The path is a great manager. He who has a way does not complain or ask. Only offers. Because there is no greater authority for him, no greater protector than his path.
Disorientation is a clear relative of pride, vanity, arrogance, arrogance and arrogance. All vicious inclinations spiritually disorient a person, depriving him of piety and goodness. Why are many leaders disoriented? They are too far from real life, from the needs and requirements of the people.
A disoriented person does not know what his life purpose is. The entire worldview of disorientation is built on limiting beliefs, misconceptions and false psychological attitudes. Disorientation is a bait for prejudices, superstitions, prejudices, satanism and devilry. If a person has an incorrectly formed self-concept, he becomes a pitiful victim of disorientation.

What are the symptoms of disorientation?
▪️The earliest symptoms of disorientation and confusion look like a deterioration in attention and ability to concentrate on something. As the disease develops, communication with the outside world is destroyed, gaps appear in memories, and logic is distorted. The person cannot understand what happened, ceases to recognize people and objects, and loses the ability to pronounce words.
▪️ Because of this, he experiences stress, feels depressed, withdraws into himself and loses mobility. One skill or several at once may be affected. Sudden disorientation can be paroxysmal and go away over a period of time. Temporary disorientation is different from permanent disorientation. In the second case, signs such as delirium, dementia, hallucinations, limited mobility, and silence are visible.
▪️In the described condition, mental activity is disrupted, perception is distorted, and memories are lost. The perception of oneself as a person, one’s physical body, and other people changes. Memory of yourself and them becomes fragmentary or disappears completely.
Depending on the type of illness, different symptoms occur:
● Memory loss; ● Deterioration of attention; ● Sleep problems; ● Dizziness; ● Disconnected thinking; ● The appearance of visions, hallucinations; ● Apathy; ● Loss of concentration; ● Speech impairment.
✔️ Allopsychic disorientation means a lack of understanding of where a person is, the present place and time. The sufferer cannot name his location, is confused about calendar dates and time of day, and also does not know what year it is.
✔️ Sexual disorientation manifests itself as same-sex attraction, hatred of the opposite sex, and transgenderism. The reasons for such disorientation may be different, and this phenomenon is in the process of being studied. As an assumption, a hypothesis was put forward about a genetic predisposition, and there are also examples that sexual disorientation appears as a result of mental trauma and violence experienced.
✔️ Errative disorientation means speech impairment when pronouncing and writing words. People sometimes tend to be errative deliberately, creating slang expressions, but distorted speech can also be a symptom of a neurological and mental disorder.
✔️ Topographic disorientation means a lack of understanding of where a person is at the moment; he cannot name the locality, country, address and place of residence. It is this type of illness that most often occurs in elderly people who leave home in light clothing and wander the streets, not understanding where they are.
Disorientation in time and space, manifested due to brain damage due to trauma, concomitant illness or due to age. The patient cannot name the date, time, time of day, year, time of year and his location, as well as remember his own address, or go to the place where he lived for some time, but has long since left.
Loss of disorientation, or rather orientation, can occur suddenly and be temporary or develop gradually, conquering a person’s perception and depriving him of his usual guidelines in life. In this case, they say that complete disorientation has occurred and the patient disappears as a person. He falls into a confused state, becomes sedentary and withdrawn, does not speak, and performs a minimum number of actions, because he no longer understands what and when to do. Needs constant supervision and care.
Types of disorders
Among the most common types of disorientation are:
- spatial disturbance;
- lost in time;
- social disorientation.
With a spatial disorder, the patient cannot recognize the place where he is. If there is a discrepancy in time, the patient does not remember the days of the week or the time of day. Social disorientation sometimes occurs in children and adolescents. It occurs when living conditions change in a very sensitive child. This could be entering a kindergarten or school.
A psychological feature of a socially disoriented person is decreased sensitivity to social norms. It is necessary to constantly work with such children in order to bring their development to the appropriate level.
