I think psychological parts (see Multiagent Models of Mind) have an analogy of apoptosis, and if someone’s having such a bad time that their priors expect apoptosis is the norm, sometimes this misgeneralises to the whole individual or their self identity. It’s an off target effect of a psychological subroutine which has a purpose; to reduce how much glitchy and damaged make the whole self have as a bad a time.
