I think the Disfellowshipping abandonement arrangement in human relationships also to be a heavy contributor to this malady:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_personality_disorder
Borderline personality disorder (BPD), also known as emotionally unstable personality disorder, is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by unstable relationships with other people, unstable sense of self, and unstable emotions.[3][4] There is often an extreme fear of abandonment, frequent dangerous behavior, a feeling of emptiness, and self-harm. Symptoms may be brought on by seemingly normal events.[3] The behavior typically begins by early adulthood, and occurs across a variety of situations.[4] Substance abuse, depression, and eating disorders are commonly associated with BPD.[3] BPD increases the risk of self-harm and 10% of people affected die by suicide.[3][4]

Signs and symptoms[edit]
Borderline personality disorder may be characterized by the following signs and symptoms:
Markedly disturbed sense of identity
Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment and extreme reactions to such
Splitting ("black-and-white" thinking)
Impulsivity and impulsive or dangerous behaviours
Intense or uncontrollable emotional reactions that often seem disproportionate to the event or situation
Unstable and chaotic interpersonal relationships
Self-damaging behavior
Distorted self-image[3]
Dissociation
Frequently accompanied by depression, anxiety, anger, substance abuse, or rage
The most distinguishing symptoms of BPD are marked sensitivity to rejection or criticism, and intense fear of possible abandonment.[7] Overall, the features of BPD include unusually intense sensitivity in relationships with others, difficulty regulating emotions, and impulsivity. Other symptoms may include feeling unsure of one's personal identity, morals, and values; having paranoid thoughts when feeling stressed; dissociation and depersonalization; and, in moderate to severe cases, stress-induced breaks with reality or psychotic episodes.
Emotions[edit]
People with BPD may feel emotions more easily, more deeply, and longer than others do.[8][9] In addition, emotions may repeatedly resurge and persist a long time.[9] Consequently, it may take more time for people with BPD than others to return to a stable emotional baseline following an intense emotional experience.[10] People with BPD often engage in idealization and devaluation of others, alternating between high positive regard for people and great disappointment in them.[11] In Marsha Linehan's view, the sensitivity, intensity, and duration with which people with BPD feel emotions have both positive and negative effects.[10] People with BPD are often exceptionally enthusiastic, idealistic, joyful, and loving.[12] However, they may feel overwhelmed by negative emotions ("anxiety, depression, guilt/shame, worry, anger, etc."), experiencing intense grief instead of sadness, shame and humiliation instead of mild embarrassment, rage instead of annoyance, and panic instead of nervousness.[12]
People with BPD are also especially sensitive to feelings of rejection, criticism, isolation, and perceived failure.[13] Before learning other coping mechanisms, their efforts to manage or escape from their very negative emotions may lead to emotional isolation, self-injury or suicidal behavior.[14] They are often aware of the intensity of their negative emotional reactions and, since they cannot regulate them, they shut them down entirely.[10] This can be harmful to people with BPD, since negative emotions alert people to the presence of a problematic situation and move them to address it which the person with BPD would normally be aware of only to cause further distress.[10] People with BPD may feel emotional relief following cutting.[15]
