'''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''' can be described as the partial to complete loss of restraint in governing normal behavior and decision-making processes.
