Unexplained strange medical mental illnesses

The infected person believes that all relatives are fake, or they eat their own organs, or wake up soon after thinking that they are dead .

Over the years, scientists have created a breakthrough in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. More and more diseases are known as depression, bipolar disorder, paralysis. Unfortunately, there are still many misunderstandings, discrimination and not yet studied. Here are four of the strangest, most confusing mental illnesses you may have never heard of, according to Medical Daily.

Capgras syndrome

The sign of Capgras syndrome is paranoid close people like spouses, relatives, close friends, and even pets that have been swapped by the same appearance . Myths occur on one or more objects, persistent or intermittent.

A 1991 study described a 74-year-old woman with Capgras syndrome as follows: "The patient was diagnosed with atypical psychosis because he believed his husband was replaced by another man. The patient was from refusing to sleep with a rogue, locking the bedroom at night, asking a son for a gun and fighting the police when asked to go in. The patient easily recognized other family members except the husband ".

Until now, researchers have not been able to find the origin of Capgras syndrome. Some argue that the simple identification process in the brain is damaged as a result of stroke, overdose, or other external factors. However, many experts say the problem is not in facial recognition but from subconscious emotions.

Capgras syndrome may be accompanied by other mental illnesses, most commonly schizophrenia and often occurs in patients with neurodegenerative disorders.

Real self

Compared to the disease of cannibalism, self-realism is even more frightening because patients eat themselves. Not specifically classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of American Psychiatric Disorders, self-actuality is considered to be a problem of impulse control because it cannot restrain actions that harm themselves. or others.

A case of self-realization is a 66-year-old man who was hospitalized with the reason for insomnia and gradually tortured himself."The patient eats his fingers for 6 years" , the doctor's report notes. "Behavior begins with nail biting and then bites your fingers, causing both fingers to lose their burning." The patient is then treated with antipsychotics and antidepressants.

Not all self-realizations are the same. Sometimes this disorder warns another problem, such as Lesch-Nyhan genetic syndrome. One study found that 5 patients suffered from autopsy after a spinal injury. These people are "smart, willing to discuss their problems and can determine their own level of stress or isolation in life" in a confusing way.

Scientists cannot find a link between injury and real evidence. Treatment for patients with drugs, counseling, behavioral therapy only brings about modest results.

Cotard syndrome

Also known as the walking corpse syndrome, Cotard syndrome is a rare condition that makes people think they have died or lost their organs.

"I feel like going into ruin or hell," Wang Wang Weijun tells of the experience of having Cotard syndrome. "I tried to think about what I had done wrong to be punished, forced to relive this life even though I was dead. But that's not true."

Scientists make many theories about the cause of Cotard syndrome, including overdose. Some cases have recovered from illness by combining pharmaceuticals and electroshock therapy.

Disorder identification of body integrity

The striking symptom of body identification disorder (BIID) is the belief in self-worth being handicapped. A healthy person wishing to amputate limbs because he feels he should not have that part.

Recently, the woman named Jewel Shuping (USA) has blinded herself due to BIID."I don't think I'm crazy. I get sick," Shuping explained. "BIID makes you feel like you need a disability. In my case, it is a desire to blindness."

Shuping asked the small doctor to drain the drug into his eyes because he wanted to be blind.(Photo: Mirror).

Experts believe that BIID makes the image of the person in the head of the patient not fit the real body. Understanding and respect is the first treatment step. Occasionally, the medical team agreed to the expense according to the patient's request but was controversial. In 2000, a Scottish surgeon was strongly opposed by the community for cutting the legs of a person with BIID.

As with the above conditions, doctors cannot be sure what causes the BIID and why it changes case by case.
