Syndrome of addiction joking - a sign of a worrying disease

There are people who are forced to laugh at all times and can't stop.

Humor always has a certain place in society. Who doesn't want to be friends with a witty guy, always saying humorous words, having fun makes others laugh, right?

But the joke must be in the right place. Incorrect jokes, people will call it ungainly. Yet, there are people who must always be "ungainly" like that. They always have to say jokes every time, anywhere. Those are people who suffer from "addicted jokes" syndrome - Witzelsucht (a German root).

Heard of jokes, but it turns out that "addiction to joking" syndrome is real, and is a neurological problem.

A study by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA, USA) was conducted on two typical cases of this syndrome. The first is the case of a 69-year-old man. Within 5 years, he would raise his wife every night in the middle of the night just to . tell jokes.

By the time his wife had to "impetus" , the joke would end. But instead, he wrote all those stories out of paper - including words to talk about the topic . excruciating. As of the start of the study, the number of jokes he wrote on paper was up to 50 pages.

Humor always has a certain place in society.

Case 2 is about a 57-year-old man. On a beautiful day, the company decided to dismiss him, just because of joking everywhere. According to the story, he always laughs at all jokes - mainly because he speaks himself, and they are often on the topic of "bed" or politics. He even willingly jumped into his colleagues, pulled their carvats and compared them to each other.

The common point of these two characters is that they cannot stop laughing and laughing, and all suffer from brain-related diseases.

In the case of the first man, 10 years before the experiment, he had a brain hemorrhage, then became a different person. He began to " re- ignite" re-use - that is, to find ways to recycle things anytime and anywhere, even hoarding restaurant paper. A few years later, he switched to "addicted to jokes" , but only found his joke interesting.

These people just found their jokes interesting.(Illustration).

For the second case, after this person died, the doctors performed autopsies and discovered that he had Pick's disease. This is one of the diseases of dementia, affecting the frontal lobes of the brain.

Signs of worrying

According to UCLA's research, both of these cases are affected by the anterior cerebral lobe , especially on the right side of the brain. This is the area responsible for handling humor, helping us feel how funny the surrounding world is.

Being hurt in this area, you can still feel happy, but it will be more difficult to feel humor from others. Moreover, they have difficulty controlling their own jokes, while their jokes are . bland and extremely absurd.

Most cases are excited to laugh excessively, leading to the possibility of severe depression.

Rarely do people die from laughing, but people who can't stop joking are a sign of some more serious brain-related illnesses. Most cases are excited to laugh excessively, leading to the possibility of severe depression.

In some cases, it may even turn into " sexiness " - hypersexuality - when the patient is always waiting to talk about sex-related words and jokes.

Well, jokes are not always good. If you feel that someone is too easy to laugh, you should probably advise them to be more careful.
