Apragmatism
Definition
A profound disorder of behavior and volition, characterized by an individual's pathological inability to initiate, plan, and execute practical, useful, or goal-directed actions of daily life, despite preserved elementary intellectual capacities. This structural phenomenon represents a major negative symptom, frequently encountered in schizophrenia, severe depressive states, or frontal lobe syndromes, leading to social isolation and total inactivity.
