Nevertheless, the most disturbing aspect of this patient's life was his complete selfish, hedonistic, irresponsible, drifting, and aimless lifestyle, along with a complete lack of hold on life or on his self. His life history led us to study the fascinating concept of Bleuler's haltlose personality disorder, which came naturally as a comorbid diagnosis, based on some of the features now explained (Table 1).

2017 October, João Gama Marques, “Pharmacogenetic testing for the guidance of psychiatric treatment of a schizoaffective patient with haltlose personality disorder.”, in CNS Spectrums:

Non-limiting examples of adult personality and behavior disorders that affect the central nervous system include: a specific personality disorder (e.g., paranoid personality disorder, schizoid personality disorder, a dissocial personality disorder—such as antisocial personality disorder—an emotionally unstable personality disorder—such as borderline personality disorder—histrionic personality disorder, an anankastic personality disorder—such as obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, anxious (avoidant) personality disorder, dependent personality disorder, eccentric personality disorder, haltlose personality disorder, immature personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, passive-aggressive personality disorder, or psychoneurotic personality disorder); mixed personality disorder; a habit or impulse disorder (e.g., pathological gambling, pathological fire-setting (pyromania), pathological stealing (kleptomania), or trichotillomania); and Munchausen syndrome.

If not, was it casually discovered by the patient or by a physician in the course of an examination? If the latter, inquire carefully as to secondary iatropic factors.

This latter effect is analogous to the problem of iatropic illness in medicine, in which treatment for one condition inadvertently induces another illness or problem.

Antihypertensive agents also are considered to contribute to dialysis hypotension through vasodilation, negative iatropic effects on the heart, or both.
