'''Disinhibition''' ~~can be described~~ as ~~the partial~~ to ~~complete loss~~ of ~~restraint~~ in ~~governing normal behavior~~ and ~~decision~~-~~making processes~~. It is manifested ~~by impulsivity~~, poor risk assessment, and disregard for social conventions. Disinhibited behaviour occurs when one displays an increased aptitude to preform actions they wouldn't otherwise enact, including those dictated by societal norms. A person with drug-induced disinhibition experiences a decreased ability to concentrate on external social cues guiding appropriate behaviour. They will also experience a decreased ability to control and manage their immediate impulsive responses to the external environment.

'''Disinhibition''' is medically recognized as an orientation towards immediate gratification, leading to impulsive behavior driven by current thoughts, feelings, and external stimuli, without regard for past learning or consideration of future consequences.<ref name="DSM5GlossaryDisinhibition">{{cite journal|title=Glossary of Technical Terms|journal=Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.)|year=2013|pages=820|doi=10.1176/appi.books.9780890425596.GlossaryofTechnicalTerms}}</ref><ref name="ZamboniHuey2008">{{cite journal|last1=Zamboni|first1=G.|last2=Huey|first2=E.

~~For the most part~~, disinhibition ~~simply allows~~ one to overcome emotional apprehension and suppressed social skills in a manner that is ~~quite~~ controllable for the average person. ~~In many cases the disinhibited individual may be unable~~ or ~~have~~ a lack of desire to disguise some of their emotional responses, sometimes at the expense of politeness, sensitivity, or social appropriateness. Individuals who are disinhibited may come across as rude, loud, tactless or even offensive. This lack of constraint can be positive or negative depending on the group or individual, but this removal of social filter generally cannot be regarded as an alteration of ones views, but simply an increased ease at displaying how one already feels.

At its lower levels of intensity, disinhibition can allow one to overcome emotional apprehension and suppressed social skills in a manner that is moderated and controllable for the average person. This can often prove useful for those who suffer from social anxiety or a general lack of self-confidence.

However, at higher levels of intensity, the disinhibited individual may be completely unable to maintain any semblance of self-restraint, at the expense of politeness, sensitivity, social appropriateness, or local laws and regulations. This lack of constraint can be negative, neutral, or positive depending on the individual and their current environment. The negative consequences of disinhibited behaviour range from relatively benign consequences (such as embarrassing oneself) to destructive and damaging ones (such as driving under the influence or committing criminal acts).
