Amok, mental illness, observed among residents of the Malay Islands. It is expressed in a paroxysmal disturbance of consciousness that occurs suddenly or after a short period of mood disturbance. The patient starts to run, senselessly destroying everything he encounters along the way. After the attack ends, the memory of what happened is extremely vague or completely absent.

Amok (Malay. meng-âmok, to fly into a blind rage and kill), mental condition, most often defined in psychiatry as an ethnospecific phenomenon characteristic of residents of Malaysia, the Philippines and nearby regions, characterized by sudden motor agitation (usually running) and aggressive actions, causeless attacks on people.

In German, the word "amok" has received an expanded meaning and denotes frantic, blind, unmotivated aggression with or without casualties, without any ethnic or geographical boundaries.

As defined by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), A. is defined as “an unprovoked episode of behavior that threatens death, bodily harm, or destruction. After this, amnesia and (or) exhaustion. It is also often accompanied by self-destructive behavior, self-harm, even suicide.”

According to the DSM-IV classification, A. belongs to the category of impulse control disorders, in the dictionary of culturally dependent syndromes it is characterized as “an episode characterized by heavy thoughts, a twilight state of consciousness, erupting in an outbreak of violence, aggressive and dangerous behavior directed at people and objects.” The ICD-10 classifier, on the contrary, does not contain this concept.

In the Russian psychiatric school, A. is a mental illness, one of the varieties of the twilight state of consciousness. It manifests itself in the form of attacks of impaired consciousness that occur suddenly or after a certain period of mood disturbance. The patient begins to rush about, senselessly destroying everything around him. After the attack ends, there remain vague memories of what happened or no memories at all. A. as an unmotivated attack of blind aggressive excitement, similar to epileptic, is used as a synonym for the state of uncontrolled rabies.

In the 17th-19th centuries, the concept reached Western culture. This happened thanks to European explorers, such as Captain Cook. Later it was associated with the Malay-Indonesian culture.

Even by the beginning of the 20th century, it was believed that A.’s attacks occur only in a state of complete drug intoxication. Meyer's dictionary says: “Amok (from the Javanese amoak - to kill) is a barbaric custom among some Malay tribes, for example on the island of Java, consisting of the use of opium to the point of rabies. Intoxicated, armed with a Malay dagger, they rush into the streets and wound or kill everyone they meet, until they themselves are killed or, nevertheless, captured.”

One of the reasons for A. is the unbearable shame associated with a partner’s betrayal. A person feels his sexual inadequacy and is afraid of being ridiculed by others. This feeling is replaced by hatred of others, a compensatory mechanism appears aggressive behavior. The accumulation of aggression leads to its explosive manifestation, which can be associated with causing harm to a large number of people.

Definition

According to the DSM-IV classification, amok is classified as an impulse control disorder, in the Dictionary of Culture-Specific Syndromes it is characterized as “an episode characterized by heavy rumination, a twilight state of consciousness, erupting in an outburst of violence, aggressive and dangerous behavior directed at people and objects.” The ICD-10 classifier, on the contrary, does not contain this concept.

In the Russian psychiatric school, amok is a mental illness, one of the varieties of the twilight state of consciousness. It manifests itself in the form of attacks of impaired consciousness that occur suddenly or after a certain period of mood disturbance. The patient begins to rush about, senselessly destroying everything around him. After the attack ends, there remain vague memories of what happened or no memories at all. Amok, as an unmotivated attack of blind aggressive excitement, similar to epileptic, is used as a synonym for the state of uncontrolled rabies.

History of the concept

In the 17th -19th centuries the concept reached Western culture. This happened thanks to European explorers, such as Captain Cook. Later it was associated with the Malay-Indonesian culture.

Even by the beginning of the 20th century, it was believed that amok attacks occur only in a state of complete drug intoxication. Meyer's dictionary says: “Amok (from the Javanese amoak - to kill) is a barbaric custom among some Malay tribes, for example on the island of Java, consisting of the use of opium to the point of rabies. Intoxicated, armed with a Malay dagger, they rush into the streets and wound or kill everyone they meet, until they themselves are killed or, nevertheless, captured.”

Causes of the phenomenon

One of the reasons for amok is the unbearable shame associated with a partner's betrayal. A person feels his sexual inadequacy and is afraid of being ridiculed by others. This feeling is replaced by hatred of others, and a compensatory mechanism of aggressive behavior appears. The accumulation of aggression leads to its explosive manifestation, which can be associated with causing harm to a large number of people.
