Amenia is an obscuration of consciousness, which is accompanied by hallucinatory experiences, disturbed orientation in the locality, time, self, incoherent speech and thinking, emotional chaos, motor anxiety.
The patient's external world is divided into small particles, which can not be assembled into one unit. A person loses the ability to synthesize, make associative connections. Amenity is divided into three types:
- delusional;
- hallucinatory;
- catatonic.
The result of the disease is complete decay of consciousness and disorder in the head. Patients can try their best to build a picture of what is happening around, however, constant distraction from reality does not allow a person to conduct systematic observation.
The patient experiences feelings of constant helplessness, uncertainty and ambiguity.
Causes of
Syndrome Amenic syndrome occurs because of severe physical or mental exhaustion based on poisoning by endogenous or exogenous toxin. The cause of a mild form of amenation can be:
- diarrhea;
- is an easy poisoning;
- blood loss;
- continued surgical intervention.
Severe handicap disease occurs when:
- open or closed traumatic brain injury;
- organic brain damage;
- hyperthyroidism;
- infectious disease;
- acute and chronic intoxication with alcohol and drug addiction.
The most profound manifestations of the disease are observed with sepsis, which is accompanied by brain damage. Bipolar 
affective disorder and some forms of schizophrenia can cause short amen- tive moments.
This pathological condition can last a long time. During this, a person loses all kinds of orientation.
In case of amputation, the luggage of life experience is lost, skills and abilities are lost, new information is not stored in the brain and is not remembered.
Clinical manifestations of
Pathological disease leads to complete consciousness disorder. A person does not understand who he is, where he is and what he does.
The patient does not distinguish between his loved ones, those around him, he is not able to recognize the questions that are addressed to him. The period of the disease with amenia is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- productive contact with the outside world is not possible;
- the patient can not build complete sentences, bind them in meaning;
- , the victim, with varying loudness, utters meaningless single words with repeated repetition;
- is impaired ability to synthesize, the patient is unable to connect events, objects to each other;
- because of deception of feelings, manifestations of delusional emotions and hallucinatory experiences, the patient is in a state of confusion, timidity, uncertainty, helplessness;
- patient attention does not focus for a long time on one object, any new sound switches attention from one object to another;
- emotions are inadequate, randomly intermittent;
- the patient in one minute can laugh and cry, be overly interested and indifferent to others;
- there are depressions that are not related to external events;
- pastime in bed can be accompanied by active swings, rotations, jerks, bends of hands, feet and prolonged stupor;
- motor activity in bed can alternate with prolonged stupor;
- there is a separate minute motor activity;
- the patient can touch, snap, repel objects without realizing their meaning.
After complete cure, the patient forgets the entire inadequate period of the disease. Due to refusal of food, prolonged amenations can lead to complete exhaustion of the body.
In childhood, the aminic syndrome is shallow and short-lived. Complete frustration of consciousness in children is not observed. The child is worried, constantly upset, distracted, unable to navigate the situation. Contact can be adjusted, but not for a long time.
The child does not fully understand the meaning of references to it, this leads to incorrect reactions to them.
Diagnosis of
Diagnosis of the disease lies on the shoulders of a psychiatrist. It occurs on the basis of certain clinical results and symptoms: incoherence, confusion, impaired orientation, motor anxiety, etc. To clarify the main nature of the pathology can the therapist, endocrinologist, infectious disease specialist, neurosurgeon and neurologist.
Catatonic syndrome and delirium will help to conduct differential diagnosis. Catatonic symptoms during amenation are unstable and constantly changing. Short-term delirium may disturb most patients at night. Depressive effect for catatonia is not typical.
Hallucinations and delusions in a state of delirium are interrelated. Especially in a state of intoxication. Patients can visit delusional ideas, but only as short-term episodes. Sometimes, especially during the day, the patient may come to consciousness during delirium, whereas in the case of amenia such a phenomenon is absent.
Amenia turns the actions of patients into senseless, monotonous and not purposeful. There is no complete contact with the outside world.
Complex of medical measures
In case of untimely treatment of amenations, even a lethal outcome is possible. In most cases, such a disease manifests itself against the background of 
somatic ailments.
Therefore, it is very important to try to delimit the status of delirium with amenity as much as possible in order to begin immediate therapy, in view of the more serious consequences of the latter for the organism.
Treatment has the direction to eliminate( relieve) the causes of the formation of an uncomfortable mental state.
The use of drugs Aminazine( intramuscularly 2.5% solution in a volume of 2-5 ml.) And Thiosulphate( a solution of 20-30%) intravenously plays an enormous role. If Aminazine is contraindicated, then take Pantopone solution( 2% solution subcutaneously in a volume of 1ml).
To stop the stimulation, you can prescribe intramuscularly or intravenously Diazepam or Elenium. An excellent effect, right up to the clarification of consciousness, in cases of CNS diseases may be provided by Piracetam. You need to use the drug systematically drip-intravenous injection.
In addition to the above, funds are used to normalize the heart, drugs to restore water balance and neuroleptics.
Nootropil with saline solution can clarify consciousness.
Drug therapy is often supplemented with the procedures of a psychotherapeutic complex.
Patients can completely abandon water and food. Artificial nutrition supports their body in parallel with medicines. In general, the prognosis of the disease is favorable.
Timely adequate therapy will not give a chance of manifestation of any danger to the body. The withdrawal from the amenia state is accompanied by complete amnesia and severe asthenia. Due to the severe form of the disease, treatment with folk methods is not provided.
Because of a disorder of consciousness, a person's vital functions are violated. Patients may experience difficulty breathing apparatus due to language slippage, due to long stay in bed - the formation of bedsores in the buttocks, shoulder blades, it is possible to remove liquids from the body.
Amenia caused by severe diseases, namely brain tumor, blood circulation disturbance, threatens the life of the patient, cardiac arrest is possible.
