What is behavioral disinhibition?

Behavioral disinhibition refers to the lack of inhibition or self-control in one's actions. It could be characterized by impulsivity, risk-taking, and disregard for social norms or consequences. Some causes of behavioral disinhibition include alcohol or drug use, brain injuries or disorders, and personality disorders. This behavior could lead to harmful consequences such as accidents, conflicts, and addiction. People with behavioral disinhibition often require intervention and therapy to learn self-control and manage their impulsivity.
