Dysregulációja

Dysregulation refers to the failure or impairment of regulatory mechanisms that normally maintain physiological, psychological, or social balance. The term is used across several disciplines, including physiology, psychology, economics, and public policy, to describe situations where control systems break down or become maladaptive. In a biological context, endocrine dysregulation may involve abnormal hormone production, such as hyperthyroidism or insulin resistance, leading to metabolic disorders. Neurologically, dysregulation can mean disrupted neurotransmitter systems, contributing to conditions like depression or schizophrenia. Psychologically, it can describe deficits in executive functions, emotion regulation, or impulse control, often examined within the framework of impulse control disorders or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Economically, market dysregulation occurs when regulatory frameworks fail to prevent excessive risk-taking or information asymmetry, potentially leading to financial crises. Public policy dysregulation describes a failure of governmental oversight to adequately protect public welfare, which may manifest as inadequate consumer protection, environmental harm, or health care disparities. Typical causes of dysregulation include genetic predispositions, chronic stress, exposure to toxins, organizational failures, or systemic corruption. Prevention and treatment strategies focus on restoring regulatory balance through pharmacological interventions, cognitive-behavioral therapy, structural reforms, and enhanced governance. The concept remains central in interdisciplinary research, informing both theoretical models and practical interventions aimed at restoring functional equilibrium.
