Twilight disorder of consciousness.
A sudden disturbance of consciousness, accompanied by disorientation in space and time, but in which speech, motor activity and actions fixed to automatism persist, is called a twilight disorder of consciousness. In everyday life, such a disorder is called "clouding of consciousness".
Such a mental disorder does not last long and ends as suddenly as it begins. After coming out of the state of twilight disorder, a person does not remember the details of his condition, his actions, and may even deny what happened to him.
Being in a state of twilight disorder of consciousness, a person can automatically make rather long transitions, perform some work (a set of actions), experience an emotional uplift or euphoria, be in a state of anger, aggression, fear.
There are such twilight disorders, which are accompanied by visual or auditory hallucinations, delusions, psychosis, detachment from the world around them.
Causes of twilight disorder of consciousness:
- Psychological trauma (tragedy),
- Epileptic seizure,
- Traumatic brain injury,
- Brain tumors.
Since the state of twilight mental disorder is a temporary phenomenon, help consists in protecting a person from injury (or other kind of damage) to himself or to other people. Further, the reasons that provoked this condition are clarified, and the treatment is aimed at eliminating the factors that caused this disorder.
