On the military card you can find the entry "7B", which causes a lot of controversy. Back in 1995, this diagnosis meant that a person suffers from moderate psychopathy. Also, many thought that this entry indicates the presence of schizophrenia in a person. But this is false information. In our time, everything has changed - now this article indicates the presence of an infectious fungal disease in a conscript.
Diagnosis Description
Many have the erroneous opinion that the diagnosis of 7B and schizophrenia are one and the same. But in reality, everything is different. So previously designated psychopathy, which is now classified as a personality disorder.
Psychopathy is characterized by a large number of abnormal emotional reactions. This also applies to behavioral symptoms that are found only in people with this diagnosis. These include:
- propensity for manipulation and deceit;
- a complete lack of guilt, sympathy and remorse;
- impulsiveness;
- cruelty;
- egocentricity.
People who suffer from psychopathy are mostly very irresponsible. They do not comply with the rules of society, and also do not recognize any laws.
The pathological changes that occur with their character prevent them from building normal relationships with people. Often they are closed, unsure of themselves and weak-minded. However, it all depends on the type of psychopathy.
The disease occurs for various reasons. Among them, the most often distinguished:
- intoxication;
- hereditary factors;
- fetal injury during fetal development;
- poor social impact.
Designation on military card
There is a lot of controversy surrounding the transcript of Article 7B. Someone claims that it means a person has a mental health problem. Others say that there is nothing wrong with this record. Disagreements arise because the Schedule of Diseases is often amended. Until 1995, this article did indeed indicate a mental disorder. If the letter “B” was attributed to the number, then it indicated that the conscript was a moderate psychopath. Because of this, the young man was subject to draft only in case of war.
Young people at that time sought to fall under this article in order to "slope" away from the army. But this method has its own nuances. Due to the presence of such a record in a military card, it was difficult for a person to obtain a driver’s license, get a prestigious job, and also occupy a leadership position. After all, it imposes a number of restrictions. And getting rid of her was very difficult. Now everything has changed.
Value nowadays
In psychiatry, a diagnosis of 7B denoted psychopathy. But now, according to the new Schedule of Diseases, recording means the presence of dermatophytosis. This suggests that the patient has a fungus localized on all organs in which keratin is present:
- nails
- hair;
- stratum corneum of the epidermis.
If a young man is diagnosed with 7B, he will be suspended from service until the time he gets rid of the infectious disease.
Times go by and a lot is changing. Thus, a diagnosis of 7B is no longer a sign of psychopathy. But its new meaning speaks about health problems.
