I feel like the corruption of an individual is based on the negative affective mind-frame of life experiences that solidify into the individual's multifaceted self that can lead to exhibitions that are quite nuanced.
I say this aside from the overwhelming support of genetic forms of Dementia praecox and other insanities.
How so, I believe, starts with how small the world is to the individual, and when the deepest corruption took place.
For example, an agoraphobic fear-based individual. Their world is quite small, in relation to others that have been corrupted differently by how much is not processed appropriately, and the time of development of the individual in existence.
To an agoraphobic individual, going outside can mean the end of the world as they know it. It is a real and valid fear of the accepted mind-frame of the individual -- in essence, fearing Doom.
To a narcissistic individual, being apart of a corporate system is not uncommon -- due to their need for exogenous gratification to feel powerful. Their worlds tend to be of size. due to being apart of complex exogenous social relations, relations unlike to those of the agoraphobic individual
However, the narcissistic individual tends to fear the same emotion as the agoraphobic individual -- a sense of mental doom. Why?
To a narcissistic individual, Doom is usually not incited by leaving physical zones like those of agoraphobia. To them, Doom is feeling worthless and powerless (when the rug is pulled out from underneath them, so to speak), for that is how their minds have learned to adapt to the harsh reality of their early development. If the accepted mind-frame is the need to fear the sense of powerlessness, then, in contrast, the active self will do everything it can to feel otherwise.
From sociopathy to narcissism, to agoraphobia, to psychosis, to borderline, to even manic-depression, and the unipolar mate of it -- the fear is the same either recognized by the active self or not, but incited differently.
I feel like we need to teach the world that fears should not be based on how small or large the world is in their perspectives. Fears should be based on survival. Fears should be based on valid expectations of the future that are in conjunction with the peace and perseverance of the individual and self.
Whether you see a sixteen-year-old suffering from simple anxiety or an elderly man suffering from complex dementia. A 23-year-old catatonic schizophrenic, a vigilant borderline, or a motivated manic-depressive individual -- it is all the same in the minds' of the individual.
Corruption,
or from a psychological stand-point, perhaps solidified formations of cognitive dissonance into active mind-frames.
