Patient revolves around this mechanism to satisfy cravings,urges by any means.He beaks every thing,promises,
rules,laws,social obligations and innocent hearts of his family members.
Any person who needs breaths to survive,will manage breaths at any cost and will not see the rules,laws or tears and cries of family.
He will not care about his responsibilities or social obligations..He has to survive only by taking breath..
