Egoic disintegration

In Zekian psychiatry, egoic disintegration refers to a fundamental and gradual undoing of a person's sense of self, resulting in a fundamental identity crisis, which if unresolved leads to identity loss. Such an event tends to be expressed through melancholia or degeneration. This causes a person to withdraw from significant relationships and to give up essential principles, which may lead to merging. It is not in itself a disorder but tends to cause several neuroses or dysintegria.
