The role of typology and reactivity in initiation and development of disadaptive disorders

Abstract

This review focuses on the issue of transition states that occur on the edge of normal and pathological conditions and are called borderline mental disorders (BMD). The author hypothesized that in the modern life, disintegration of mental activity frequently develops in association with a significant informational load on brain integrative systems. In summarizing the material, an emphasis was made on description of internal (biological) factors that determine the emergence and development of disadaptive conditions and concurrent BMDs. The review discusses the role of individual typological features of the nervous system and individual reactivity in the formation and development of BMD and focuses on therapeutic, preventive, and correctional measures aimed at alleviating disadaptive signs in humans and minimizing BMDs.
