Coprolalia is an impulsive, and sometimes irresistible, desire to use obscene language in public places or being alone. The disorder is a kind of hyperkinesis, manifested as a complicated vocal tic.
By ticks means involuntary, monotonous, impetuous movements caused by a violation of certain functions of the brain. Hyperkinesis often affects the voice apparatus, causing vocalization - sounds or words.
General description of
Coprolalia indicates the inability of the individual to control emotions. Pathology is open and mental. In the first case, the patient practically screams obscene words, very often with a change in the pronunciation of phonemes.
In order to attract attention, a person specifically opens a window or goes to a public place. From time to time, one can also observe extremely emotional, full of profanity, telephone conversation.
Coprolalia is found among men and women of different age groups. Most often it manifests itself in relation to relatives, neighbors, acquaintances. Curses can be menacing or sexual in nature, not voiced completely( only the first syllable) or wedged into pauses during conversations. Sometimes there is an obsessive saying a lot of times a word.
Pathology appears in a person suddenly, without a provoking factor. However, the disorder is not always associated with the disease. Coprolalia is also characteristic of people with a preserved cognitive sphere.
From the spiritual and moral point of view, the constantly used non-normative vocabulary poisons the human soul, allowing demonic forces to take possession of it, which leads to the loss of cognitive functions and can become the cause of suicide.
