A psychopathic-like syndrome is characterized by the fact that patients are characterized by moral coarsening, opposition to the environment, a desire for self-affirmation, as well as infantilism, both physical and moral. Patients with this diagnosis have an attraction to alcohol, drugs and theft.
Such patients often develop a negative attitude towards established forms of human relationships and behavior. They do not perceive moral values. The patient is aggressive, arrogant and rude towards his family and friends. As a rule, he loses social connections, namely, quits work or school. Most patients begin to lead a dependent lifestyle, meet similar people and most often begin to use drugs or alcohol, and lead a promiscuous sex life. They often leave home and spend the night in public places.
