disregulatsioon

Disregulatsioon refers to a state of impaired control or regulation within a biological, psychological, or social system. In biological contexts, it can describe the malfunctioning of a physiological process, such as hormone regulation or immune system responses. For example, in diabetes, there is a disregulation of insulin and blood sugar levels. Similarly, in the brain, neurotransmitter imbalances can lead to various neurological and psychiatric conditions.

Psychologically, disregulation often pertains to difficulties in managing emotions, behaviors, or thoughts. This can manifest as an inability to cope with stress, intense mood swings, or impulsive actions. Conditions like borderline personality disorder are characterized by significant emotional disregulation. Socially, disregulation might describe a breakdown in established norms, rules, or structures within a community or society, leading to instability or chaos. Understanding disregulation is crucial for diagnosing and treating a wide range of disorders and for maintaining systemic balance.
