Good Morning Everyone in the House
It's being a while
I would like to discuss an ailment which few people knew about today
We’ve all had to make a tough decision sometime in our lives. During these moments, we start doubting ourselves and we get nervous about not knowing which option to choose. Being indecisive when having to choose something is normal. However, when it starts affecting your daily life, it can become problematic. If indecision starts messing with your personal relationships and it stems from stress, anxiety, or depression, you might be suffering from aboulomania.
And that's what we're discussing today; ABOULOMANIA
First of all, it’s important to highlight that aboulomania is a mental illness, not just a self-esteem or insecurity issue. It makes it impossible for you to live your life, as it keeps you from making decisions. You no longer feel capable of choosing, up to the point where choosing what to have for dessert feels like an impossible feat. This pathological level of indecision then messes with all your relationships.
Aboulomania is a mental disorder is which the patient suffers from mental derangement by weakened willpower or pathological indecisiveness. Aboulomania is typically associated with anxiety, stress, depression and mental anguish. It can severely affect one’s ability to function socially. In extreme cases, this can lead to suicide.
Although the exact cause of aboulomania is not known, it most likely involves both biological and developmental factors. Some researchers believe an authoritarian or overprotective parenting style can lead to the development of aboulomania in people who are susceptible to the disorder.
It is commonly thought that aboulomania is a result of overinvolvement and intrusive behavior by their primary caretakers. Caretakers may foster dependence in the child to meet their own dependency needs, and may reward extreme loyalty but reject attempts the child makes towards independence. Families of those with aboulomania are often do not express their emotions and are controlling; they demonstrate poorly defined relational roles within the family unit.
Individual with aboulomania often have been socially humiliated by others in their development years. They may carry significant doubts about their abilities to perform tasks, take on new responsibilities, and generally function independently of others. This reinforces their suspicions that they are incapable of living autonomously. In response to these feelings, they portray a helplessness that elicits caregiving behavior from some people in their lives.
What unleashes aboulomania?
Research has not been conclusive regarding what triggers aboulomania. Because of this, the potential patient needs to be studied carefully to find the underlying cause of the condition. Then, one can refer to existing studies which have come up with different hypotheses.
A possible cause for aboulomania might lie in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. This is because that’s the area of the brain responsible for decision-making and can be directly related to the condition.
However, researchers also believe that aboulomania might be closely related to how one was brought up. Thus, having overprotective parents may create the toxic environment for this condition to develop. Children with overprotective parents develop an unhealthy dependency and rely on others to make decisions for them. What’s more, if someone is a victim of humiliation or abandonment during childhood, the chances for aboulomania increase as shame, strong insecurities, and lack of self-trust can all trigger the condition.
It’s common for people with aboulomania to avoid being alone whenever they feel a dilemma might come up. But this doesn’t come from a fear of being left alone. Instead, it comes from the need to have someone there to make the decision for them and assume the responsibility. Here, the fear of being alone isn’t the root of the problem, but rather a symptom of a deeper condition.
It’s important to mention that this dependency on people makes it easier to manipulate or lie to individuals with aboulomania. Others can use them and partners can leave them for not being able to make choices or express disagreement. However, leaving someone with aboulomania alone can make them feel powerless and lost.
People with this disorder do not trust their own ability to make decisions. They may be very upset by separation and loss. They may go to great lengths, even suffering abuse, to stay in a relationship.
Symptoms of aboulomania may include:
📌 Avoiding being alone
📌 Avoiding personal responsibility.
📌 Becoming easily hurt by criticism or disapproval.
📌 Becoming overly focused on fears of being abandoned.
📌 Becoming very passive in relationships.
📌 Feeling very upset or helpless when relationships end.
📌 Having difficulty making decisions without support from others.
📌 Having problems expressing disagreements with others.
Someone suffering from aboulomania is not capable of making choices. What to have for lunch, how to cut their hair, what to do for a living… Their indecision reaches the point where not living becomes a better option than having to choose how to live.
People with aboulomania can come across as burdensome, as others might feel like they constantly have to push them around. In reality, the greater burden is the one that individuals with this condition have to endure. Because of this, one must find ways to help them gain the autonomy and independence they so desperately need. We should try to understand them.
DIAGNOSIS:
If symptoms are present, the doctor will begin an evaluation by performing a complete medical history and physical examination. Although there are no laboratory tests to specifically diagnose aboulomania, the doctor might use various diagnostic tests to rule out physical illness as the cause of the symptoms.
If the doctor finds no physical reason for the symptoms, he or she might refer the person to a psychiatrist or psychologist, health care professionals who are specially trained to diagnose and treat mental illnesses. Psychiatrists and psychologists use specially designed interview and assessment tools to evaluate aboulomania.
Age and cultural factors should be considered in diagnosing aboulomania. Certain cultural norms suggest a submissive, polite, or dependent posture in relating to the opposite sex, or authority figures. Aboulomania should only be diagnosed when it meets the above criteria and is clearly outside one’s cultural norms.
