1. 1. Barev syndrome
Barev syndrome is a personality disorder characterized by aggressive behavior towards people. The
aggression can take a variety of forms and in the most severe cases can be physical, but Barev
syndrome is associated mainly with verbal aggression. The behavior demonstrated by people with
Barev syndrome consists of repeating the same insulting phrases over and over again towards
known people, which can be friends or family. The cause of the aggression is not related to the
insulted people. It depends on other factors (mainly negative emotions during the day), which
trigger the impulse. The people who suffer from Barev syndrome can't apply willpower in order to
stop it or decrease the time of its appearance. The aggression is shown minimum once a week. There
is no known cure for Barev syndrome, however there are therapies, which can stop its progression to
more severe form.
2. Causes
As every mental disorder, there are numerous possible causes, which mainly depend on particular
life experiences, but there can be genetic dispositions as well. Here are the possible causes of Barev
syndrome:
2.1 Child abuse and neglect:
Child abuse and neglect consistently evidence themselves as antecedent risks to the development of
personality disorders in adulthood. Childhood abuse histories were found to be definitively
associated with greater levels of symptomatology. Neglect is difficult to identify and define. Neglect
occurs when a child or teen doesn't have adequate food, housing, clothes, medical care, or
supervision. Emotional neglect happens when a parent doesn't provide enough emotional support or
deliberately and consistently pays very little or no attention to a child. This doesn't mean that a
parent doesn't give a kid something he or she wants, like a new computer or a cell phone, but refers
to more basic needs like food, shelter, and love.
2.2 Emotional abuse:
Emotional abuse can be the most difficult to identify because there are usually no outward signs of
the abuse. Emotional abuse happens when yelling and anger go too far or when parents constantly
criticize, threaten, or dismiss kids or teens until their self-esteem and feelings of self-worth are
damaged. Emotional abuse can hurt and cause damage just as physical abuse does.
2.3 Sexual or physical abuse:
Sexual abuse is any type of sexual contact between an adult and anyone younger than 18; between
a significantly older child and a younger child; or if one person overpowers another, regardless of
age. If a family member sexually abuses another family member, this is called incest.
A study of almost 600 male college students, averaging almost 30 years of age and who were not
drawn from a clinical sample, examined the relationship between childhood experiences of sexual
and physical abuse and currently reported personality disorder symptoms. The sexually abused
group demonstrated the most consistently elevated patterns of psychopathology. Officially verified

2. physical abuse showed an extremely strong correlation with the development of antisocial and
impulsive behavior.
2.4 Verbal abuse:
In a study of 793 mothers and children, researchers asked mothers if they had screamed at their
children, and told them that they didn't love them or threatened to send them away. Children who
had experienced such verbal abuse were three times as likely as other children (who didn't
experience such verbal abuse) to have borderline, narcissistic, obsessive-compulsive or paranoid
personality disorders in adulthood.
2.5 Workplace harassment:
Workplace harassment is any unwelcome or unwanted conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or
an aversion toward another person on the basis of any characteristic protected by law, which
includes an individual's race, color, gender, ethnic or national origin, age, religion, disability, marital
status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other personal characteristic protected by law. A
conduct is unwelcome if the employee did not solicit, instigate or provoke it, and the employee
regarded the conduct as undesirable or offensive.
-Having your opinions and views ignored
-Withholding information which affects your performance
-Being exposed to an unmanageable workload
-Being given tasks with unreasonable or impossible targets or deadlines
-Being ordered to do work below competence
-Being ignored or facing hostility when you approach
-Being humiliated or ridiculed in connection with your work
3. Symptoms
Barev syndrome symptoms vary from person to person and can range from mild to severe.
However, people with Barev syndrome have a widely recognized behavior.
Common mental signs include:
3.1 Impulsivity:
Impulsivity is a personality trait characterized by the inclination of an individual to initiate behavior
without adequate forethought as to the consequences of their actions, acting on the spur of the
moment. Impulsivity is related to risk-taking, lack of planning, and making up one's mind quickly.
Impulsivity has been shown to be a major component of various neuropsychiatric disorders
including Barev syndrome.

3. 3.2 Aggression:
Aggression, in its broadest sense, is behavior, or a disposition towards behavior, that is forceful,
hostile or attacking. It may occur either in retaliation or without provocation. People with Barev
syndrome may show aggression from several times during a week (mild form of Barev syndrome)
to many times during a day (severe form). The aggressive behavior is towards familiar people,
which are not dangerous and won't harm them. No aggression is shown against unknown people or
animals.
3.3 Lack of self-control:
Self control is the ability to control one's emotions, behavior and desires in order to obtain some
reward, or avoid some punishment. People with Barev syndrome does not have enough willpower to
control their impulsivity or aggression.
3.4 Verbal insults:
Verbal insults almost always include swear words on sexual thematic. The people with Barev
syndrome very often use the phrase "your mother" in their insults. They tend to repeat the same
phrases over and over again until the urge for doing this disappears.
3.5 Repetitive behavior:
People suffering from Barev syndrome often display obsessive-compulsive behaviors. They might
tend to repeatedly wash their hands or clear their throats, make sure certain items are in a straight
line, repeatedly check that their parked cars have been locked before leaving them, constantly
organize in a certain way, turn lights on and off, keep doors closed at all times, touch objects a
certain number of times before exiting a room, walk in a certain routine way like only stepping on a
certain color of tile, or have a routine for using stairs, such as always finishing a flight on the same
foot.
3.6 Poor time management:
Time management is the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the
amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or
productivity. The individuals suffering from Barev syndrome are often late for planed activities.
4. Diagnosis
A psychiatrist is needed to confirm Barev syndrome, which can be recognized by people familiar
with its symptoms. There is a test based on DVD Barev syndrome checklist. The DVD-BSC includes
10 different items that are scored on a three-point scale. A value of 0 is assigned if the item does not
apply, 1 if it applies somewhat, and 2 if it fully applies. If the sum of all points is from 6 to 10, then a
mild form of Barev syndrome is considered, 11 to 15 - moderate, 16 to 20 - severe.
5. Treatment

4. There is no specific treatment for Barev syndrome, however there are therapies which can help to
stop its progression:
Group therapy - A group consisting of people who all suffer from Barev syndrome can help them
express their anger towards each other since they will be friends.
Medications - Tetrahydrocannabinol is known to slow down the aggression.
Psychotherapy - Special psychotherapy created by DVD himself may stop the progression of Barev
syndrome.
Musical therapy - Certain songs from singer Shushan Petrosyan and rapper Ludacris are known to
help.
6. Study by DVD
The following sentences are the conclusions from my 2 studies managing the individuals Q.T. (born
1985, male, Caucasian) and D.B. (born 1984, male, Caucasian).
Q.T. suffers from moderate Barev syndrome (13 points on DVD-BSC). He clearly shows all the
known symptoms, as impulsivity is strongest. I have applied my therapy for several years on him
and I can consider it almost successful. He stopped playing CS (computer game) after more than 10
years of gaming, which decreased his form of Barev syndrome. I wasn't able to stop the verbal
insults however, for which I am deeply sorry. I successfully applied the Ludacris therapy and the
patient began to hear it without my intervention. I am optimistic about the Q.T. case and I think
that if he starts proper Tetrahydrocannabinol therapy, he would be able to reduce Barev syndrome
even more.
D.B. suffers from severe Barev syndrome (19 points on DVD-BSC). He is by far my favorite patient.
He is clearly a challenge to all psychiatrists and people devoting their lives to science. I managed to
reduce his condition to moderate, but unfortunately unknown events in his life changed it back to
severe. D.B.'s aggression, verbal insults and lack of planning are at their highest rates. Shushan
Petrosyan used to help, but not any more. Sometimes I think the condition can worsen itself, but
other days I have high hopes and expectations based on therapies, which clearly show no sign of
Barev syndrome. I will continue to treat the patient with all my effort for the good of humanity.
