Disinhibition: Difference between revisions

'''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~~. A person with drug-induced disinhibition will experience a decreased ability to control and manage their immediate impulsive responses to the external environment.

'''Disinhibition''' can be described as a partial to complete suppression of one's self-restraint when it comes to governing socially acceptable behavior and general decision-making processes. A person with drug-induced disinhibition will experience a decreased ability to control and manage their immediate impulsive responses to the external environment. This is usually manifested through impulsivity, poor risk assessment, and a disregard for social conventions.

~~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 to ~~or have a lack~~ of ~~desire to disguise their emotional responses~~, sometimes at the expense of politeness, sensitivity, or social appropriateness. This lack of constraint can be positive ~~or negative~~ depending on the ~~group or~~ individual~~. The removal of social filter generally cannot be regarded as an alteration of one's views; it is 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 confidence. However, at its higher levels of intensity, the disinhibited individual may be completely unable to maintain any semblance of self-restraint, sometimes at the expense of politeness, sensitivity, or social appropriateness. This lack of constraint can be negative, neutral, or positive depending on the individual and their current environment.

Disinhibition often ~~occurs along~~ with [[amnesia]] and [[anxiety ~~suppression~~]]. It is ~~also a defining characteristic~~ of [[alcohol]] and [[benzodiazepines]].

Disinhibition will often synergize with other coinciding effects such as [[amnesia]] and [[anxiety]] in a manner which can further decrease one's regard for social norms. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of [[GABAergic]] [[depressant|depressants]] such as [[alcohol]], [[GBL]], [[phenibut]], and [[benzodiazepine|benzodiazepines]].
