 INTRODUCTION
To understand the frenzy, we have to understand the thought because the frenzy is a disorder of the content of the thought.
Thought: consistent complex activity in tying perceptions, representations - mental and verbal symbols - evocations (memory) and affections, being capable of relating them and of directing them towards a target. It can be a voluntary process / consciously or involuntarily / unconscious.
To be delirious: to leave of the rut (formerly), to leave of the logic of the thought. The frenzy and the hallucination are two elements traditionally typical of the madness.
WHAT IS A PATHOLOGICAL DELIRIOUS IDEA?
So that a pathological delirious idea exists the following characteristics have to be fulfilled:
- Entire subjective certainty.
- It is incorrigible, irreversible. There are ideas that are not modifiable not even with the experience of the subject.
- The content of the idea is impossible. (In this all the authors do not agree because there are ideas that it is possible that now they are impossible but in a future not. For example: there does thousand years a person who was saying that moon had been in him).
- The delirious idea invades the personality of the subject and it transforms in the axis of his life, since the subject is organized based on the delirious idea.
- It produces a rupture in his history (biography). The subject performed a form and, from the delirious idea, it is otherwise different. The frenzy is pathological, the person transforms all his life based on the above mentioned frenzy independently of which this one is true or not.
TYPES OF FRENZIES
- Of depressive type: the frenzy of depressive type consists of three topics:
- Hypochondria: That one who continuously gains access to the medical services convinced to suffer all kinds of illnesses.
- Of Ruin: "quite what waits for me is a life full of misfortunes".
- Of Fault: "I deserve to be badly because I was guilty of the epidemic of flu of 18".
- Of pursuit: The subject thinks that he is going to be a victim of some physical damage - poisoning, death, castration...-or psychologically - defamation, disfavor, ridiculous-. It is typical of the paranoid schizophrenia.
- Of mystical or diabolical possession: The subject detects signs that they have possessed him. If the possession is mystical - god or Angels - the emotional connotation is usually agreeable, although not in all the cases - "God is punishing me" - and if it is diabolical it is usually unpleasant, although not in all the cases - "it is a bargain to sin when he wants"-. The emotional connotation is variable, it is possible that now I like and then not, or the other way round. Comments of the type happen: "God looks at me, the virgin greets me", "do not look at me at the eyes that I turn to you into butter"... the subject thinks that, in addition to him, the whole world that him approaches also is threatened by his powers.
- Megalomaniacs or of nobility: as for example: "I am the king of the world", "am more seducer of between the men"...
- Of jealousy or celotípico: They feel cheated all over the world. typical in the chronic alcoholism and in fastened paranoiacs.
- Of erotic type or eroticism: it is a chronic frenzy. The subject organizes all his life based on the frenzy. It is referential - "the whole world is dependent on me because they want to go to bed with me" - and of pursuit - "they chase me in an erotic way"-.
DELIRIOUS PROCESS IN A SCHIZOPHRENIC SPROUT
The first thing that appears a delirious picture is with three times:
- Delirious tempering: the affective state about which the subject begins thinking rare things. It is the diffuse state and it usually has a tone of anxiety and of feeling of unpleasant change - "that is going to spend something bad"-.
- Delirious inspiration: the subject begins giving sense to his frenzy - "it seems to me that already what it is going to spend"-. He lives through it like a revelation.
- Structure and systematization of the frenzy: The subject can adapt the idea to his life and make her this way compatible with her, or on the contrary produce this rupture to him.
