The physician and psychologist, Dr. Jihan Rashad is a group of indicators, symptoms, and behavioral determinants that may appear in any person and indicate several psychological diseases, including avoidant personality disorder, aggressive personality, and antisocial personality.
Dr. said: Jihan Rashad, a psychotherapist, assistant professor of clinical psychology, and researcher in health psychology, says, “Recovery and restoration of mental health in order for a person to live in a society that achieves the maximum personal potential and energies is a journey that begins with an accurate diagnosis.”
The following are behavioral determinants that Rashad reviewed, and she emphasized that if they appear, a psychologist must be consulted:
• He avoids others for fear of criticism – rejection or disagreement with them. He does not form social relationships unless he is sure that they love him. Calmness and lack of interaction in social situations and the feeling that he is a socially unintelligent person to the point of avoiding life activities due to feeling embarrassed are important indicators that predict About avoidant personality disorder. There is a subtype of it that oscillates between avoidance and confrontation in social relationships, where the “emotional contradiction” prevails: “love/balls—closeness—distance at the same time.” There is also another subtype, which is the highly sensitive avoidant personality, which is reserved and skeptical in relationships.
• Cruelty, violence and control in social relations, intentionally insulting and humiliating the other with rejoicing in the suffering of the other (human/animal) – using threats and intimidation – loving the tools and actions of violence such as weapons, games and martial arts are important indicators that indicate aggressive personality disorder, as we emphasize that they are degrees. In terms of the severity of psychological symptoms, they range from mild to severe.
• Constantly breaking the rules of the law and instructions – deception – acting impulsively without thinking about the consequences – having a sharp temper with a history of frequent quarrels in many situations – not taking into account the property of others – using psychoactive substances since adolescence are important indicators of antisocial personality disorder, as we confirm. Here, some of them are harmful to “the self/other.”
• Unstable social relationships – mood swings – very clinging to the interpersonal relationship to avoid abandonment at the same time – excessive sensitivity, underestimation of the partner and exaggeration in reactions – ease of intense anger – feelings of emptiness are important indicators of borderline personality disorder, and this type of disorder has sub-forms “The borderline personality has a bad temper, frowns, and is pessimistic – and there is the self-destructive borderline personality, where threats of suicide are frequent.”
• Hesitation in daily decisions – avoiding responsibilities – lazy – low self-confidence – low principles are important indicators that indicate dependence disorder, and it has a subtype of it, which is the self-denying dependent personality, which is characterized by the desire to completely abandon one’s own identity and personal independence for the sake of a partner.
• A mood lacking joy, happiness, and passion, along with feelings of distress, pessimism, frequent complaints, and feelings of guilt are important indicators of depressive personality disorder.
• Superficial expressions of emotion – a strong desire to attract attention from others – severe exaggeration of attitudes and rapid emotional changes are important indicators that indicate the personality disorder hysteria, and there are types of hysteria: deceptive hysterical – childish hysterical – sacrificial appeasement hysterical – lively hysterical.
• Self-glorification and personal achievements, excessive admiration for strength and personal intelligence, exploitation and benefits in interpersonal relationships, and distortion and belittlement of the abilities of others are important indicators of narcissism disorder, and it has subtypes, including: the compensatory narcissist who defends himself against inferiority and the domineering, utilitarian narcissist.
• Excessive focus, a tendency toward perfectionism, and adherence to precise rules. Preoccupied with organization, tidying, cleaning, and achievement – stilted or cold emotions are important indicators that indicate obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. There is obsessive-compulsive disorder, procrastination, which disrupts life, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, the superman of achievement and success.
• Belief in a magical or unseen reference to everyday events – Strange speech that is too superficial or too philosophical – Suspicion of others – Inappropriate emotions for the situation – Possessing unusual senses – Isolation or few friends and lack of social activity in general are important indicators of schizotypal personality disorder.
Among them are subtypes: “Doubt – Grandiosity – Malevolence – Aggression.”
She explained that what was mentioned shows that the journey of accurate diagnosis for the sake of recovery requires careful discrimination of symptoms to prevent confusion between what is normal and what is disease, along with an accurate determination of the degree of disturbance in the functional, social, psychological and personal performance of the individual, which is what the psychotherapist and clinical psychologist do using psychological standards and tests. International codified system for the purposes of psychological diagnosis according to international diagnostic standards in preparation for determining the appropriate therapeutic interventions for each individual: as a unique case treated with a detailed individual treatment plan appropriate to him and not other cases with the same diagnosis, psychological treatment is like a garment that has personal characteristics that are similar to others at times and always different from them due to differences in factors and environmental conditions. Personal, neurological, psychological and social.
She emphasized that self-help efforts by a person to himself or those around him delay diagnosis and thus treatment, which results in very dangerous complications for a person’s life. We also confirm that personality disorders may appear in the stages of childhood and adolescence, and early intervention with diagnosis and treatment limits the exacerbation of life problems resulting from them.
