The new shoot or bud of a plant is called a sprout.
A sprout is a new shoot or shoot of a plant . The notion derives from the Gothic brŭt .
A sprout, therefore, represents the growth of a plant species . For example: "The pumpkin plant has sprouted new shoots" , "Be careful not to damage the sprouts while removing the dry leaves" , "I don't understand why the azalea doesn't sprout" .
The act and consequence of sprouting (beginning to manifest or occur) is also called sprouting. From this idea, there are many other uses of the notion of outbreak.
Sprouts in food
Sprouts can be germination of a seed or the development of new stems , leaves or flowers . Because they have not yet completed the development of their secondary cell walls, sprouts are a food highly valued by animals, both for their tenderness and the ease with which they can be digested.
Human beings also feed on the shoots of different plants. In this context, bean sprouts are very popular in Asian cuisine. These are the soybean sprouts, which must be washed before consumption.
Sprouts are often highly valued as food.
In the field of epidemiology , an outbreak refers to the emergence of an infectious disease in a certain place (such as a city or a country). The appearance of an outbreak means the development of an epidemic , with numerous people affected: "The World Health Organization expressed its concern about the Ebola outbreak in several African nations."
A psychotic break , finally, occurs when a person temporarily loses track of reality . This means that the subject, due to stress, an organic issue or the consumption of a hallucinogen, distances himself from reality and begins to have strange thoughts and behaviors.
These episodes respond to a complex network of causes that are not the same in all individuals, but they do share the reaction of the witnesses, which is usually characterized by fear and rejection, as if the sick person were a monster that we should isolate from the world. society and eliminate so that it does not harm anyone.
In our societies, violence is frowned upon, although there are caveats: fights between men, bullfighting, livestock farming, animal exploitation and sports such as boxing are accepted; However, if someone suffers a psychotic break in the middle of a shopping center and begins to destroy the facilities, we point it out, we are horrified, as if the normal thing for our species were absolute peace.
According to psychiatrists specialized in this topic, not everyone can suffer a psychotic break, but there must be a predisposition to psychotic decompensation , unless the cause is the consumption of some toxic substance. It is important, on the other hand, to frame these episodes in the context of schizophrenia , a disorder that begins during adolescence and evolves through outbreaks, deteriorating the person at every step.
During the disconnection from reality that the psychotic break entails, the individual cannot use his common sense , and therefore does not seem to fear the consequences of his actions. In some cases, hallucinations of various types occur, such as auditory, visual and kinesthetic (strange sensations inside the body).
The psychotic break may pose a risk to third parties, but in principle it is a risk to the person who suffers from it. Symptoms that usually appear before the episode include: self-harm, such as hitting the head; strange noises and gestures; aggression against third parties, regardless of the relationship that exists with them; isolation; absenteeism from school or work.
