Disinhibition can be described as the partial to complete loss of restraint in governing normal behavior and decision-making processes. It is manifested by impulsivity, poor risk assessment, and disregard for social conventions. A person with drug-induced disinhibition will experience a decreased ability to control and manage their immediate impulsive responses to the external environment.
For the most part, disinhibition simply allows one to overcome emotional apprehension and suppressed social skills in a manner that is quite controllable for the average person. In many cases the disinhibited individual may be unable or have a lack of desire to disguise some of their emotional responses, sometimes at the expense of politeness, sensitivity, or social appropriateness. This lack of constraint can be positive or negative depending on the group or individual, but this removal of social filter generally cannot be regarded as an alteration of one's views, but simply an increased ease at displaying how one already feels.
Disinhibition often occurs along with amnesia and the suppression of anxiety. Disinhibition is a defining characteristic of alcohol and there are numerous reports of it occurring on benzodiazepines.
