Sedasi

Sedasi is a term that can refer to several different concepts, most commonly a state of reduced consciousness or responsiveness. In a medical context, sedation is a procedure used to calm a patient and reduce anxiety, often before a surgical procedure or during uncomfortable medical treatments. It can range from minimal sedation, where a person is drowsy but easily awakened, to deep sedation, where they may be difficult to rouse. The level of sedation is carefully controlled by medical professionals using various medications.

Beyond medicine, "sedasi" can also be used metaphorically to describe a state of dullness, apathy, or a lack of engagement with the world. This can be a personal experience or a societal observation, suggesting a general passivity or a decline in intellectual or emotional vitality. In some contexts, it might imply a deliberate avoidance of unpleasant realities or a surrender to complacency. The specific meaning of sedasi often depends heavily on the context in which it is used.
