Time is sensed as going too fast or too slow, or in a totally deviating direction. Chronopathy occurs whenever an individual remains enclosed in its own temporality and detached from the time of others – or, on the contrary, when the subject can acknowledge other times, but lack an understanding of how their own time relates to them. Examples of such phenomena can be described as amnesiac (when the past disappears) and euphoric (when the subject fixates on the future) or, as depression (an obsession with the past, which is seen as the determinant factor in the passage of time, without any sense of future openness).
