Aboulomania, (Disorder of Indecision) A Simple Guide To The Condition, Diagnosis, Treatment And Related Conditions

By Kenneth Kee

This book describes Aboulomania, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases

I am sure many people do not want to read a book about Aboulomania because it seems to be such a weird name for a disorder.

But I am sure that many people knows other people who are indecisive and unable to act even the right choice is right in front of them.

These are the persons suffering from Aboulomania, persons who cannot decide or act unless some other person does the decision or action for them.

They suffer from a disorder that makes it almost impossible for them to make a simple choice.

People suffering from this disease are normal people, both physically and mentally in almost any other respect, except when they find themselves in a situation when they have to make a choice.

Whether it is going shopping, picking what to wear, or what to have for dinner, they have a chronic inability to make a decision

Aboulomania is a disorder based of the disease Aboulia which is the abnormal lack of ability to act or to make decisions.

The affected people can be very indecisive at times but aboulomania indicates that it can take weeks, even months to make just an easy decision.

Aboulomania is a mental disorder that is featured by crippling indecision, pathological indecisiveness or “paralysis of will”, linked with anxiety, stress, depression, and mental anguish.

Persons who have aboulomania are not able to make their own decisions and lack the willpower.

Aboulomania is a mental disorder is which the patient goes through mental derangement by weakened willpower or pathological indecisiveness.

Aboulomania can severely influence a person’s ability to function in society.

Persons who have aboulomania therefore have doubts about their abilities to:
1. Carry out tasks,
2. Take on new responsibilities, and
3. Function independently of others

This in turn reinforces their suspicions that they are not capable of living without the help of others.

They exhibit feelings of helplessness that compels other people to fulfill a sort of caregiver role.

The aboulomanía comprises a strange mental disorder that has an effect on the will of the person, weakening it and generating a sensation of constant and pathological indecision.

The person feels absolutely not capable of making any kind of decision, not even only in the activities he does throughout the day.

This disorder is highly linked to pathologies such as anxiety, stress, depression and anguish.

It greatly interrupts the ability of the person to start and maintain social interactions.

It may become in the most severe cases to provoke the suicide of the person.

While feelings of doubt, indecision or uncertainty are not normally unusual when felt with a normal degree of intensity, in instances of aboulomanía these feelings become obsessions that produce high levels of anguish in the person.

He or she suffers them since these doubts flood totally all the contexts and activities of the patient.

When making a decision, regardless of the transcendence of this, the person with aboulomania feels the need to constantly reassess their decisions, which is likely to qualify negatively.

As a result, this uncertainty and negative over-analysis of situations results in becoming a typical depiction of obsessive disorders.

Aboulomania and aboulia:

The aboulia is a disorder linked to the will and motivation, similar to the aboulomanía, in which the person also feels a decrease in motivation and energy

The main difference is that in aboulia these sensations are not an obsession for the patient.

Psychotherapy is the main treatment for patients with aboulomania to make them more decisive and independent.

Introduction

I have been writing medical articles for my blog: http://kennethkee.blogspot.com (A Simple Guide to Medical Disorder) for the benefit of my patients since 2007.

My purpose in writing these simple guides was for the health education of my patients.

Health Education was also my dissertation for my Ph.D (Healthcare Administration).

I then wrote an autobiography account of my journey as a medical student to family doctor on my other blog: http://afamilydoctorstale.blogspot.com.

This autobiography account A Family Doctor’s Tale was combined with my early A Simple Guide to Medical Disorders into a new Wordpress Blog A Family Doctor’s Tale on http://kenkee481.wordpress.com.

From which many free articles from the blog was taken and put together into 800 eBooks.

Some people have complained that the simple guides are too simple.

For their information they are made simple in order to educate the patients.

The later books go into more details of medical disorders.

The first chapter is always from my earlier blogs which unfortunately tends to have typos and spelling mistakes.

Since 2013, I have tried to improve my spelling and writing.

As I tried to bring the patient the latest information about a disorder or illness by reading the latest journals both online and offline, I find that I am learning more and improving on my own medical knowledge in diagnosis and treatment for my patients.

My diagnosis and treatment capability has improved tremendously from my continued education.

Just by writing all these simple guides I find that I have learned a lot from your reviews (good or bad), criticism and advice.

I am sorry for the repetitions in these simple guides as the second chapters onwards have new information as compared to my first chapter taken from my blog.

I also find repetition definitely help me and maybe some readers to remember the facts in the books more easily.

I apologize if these repetitions are irritating to some readers.
