Reckless behavior
Reckless behavior is a symptom in which a person behaves in such a way that he disregards the safety and well-being of himself, those around him, his belongings, and/or the belongings of others. It can be part of a developmental/psychological problem (present in childhood), be a feature of a psychiatric illness such as mania, or be due to drug abuse.
