ALICE IN WONDERLAND Alice in Wonderland may be pure fantasy, but one of Alice’s more bizarre experiences shares its characteristics with a scary mental disorder. Known also as Todd Syndrome, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome causes one’s surroundings to appear distorted. Just as Alice grows too tall for the house, those suffering from Alice in Wonderland Syndrome will hear sounds either quieter or louder than they actually are, see objects larger or smaller than reality, and even lose sense of accurate velocity or textures. This terrifying disorder, which has been described as an LSD trip without the euphoria, even perverts one’s own body image. Fortunately, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome is extremely rare, and in most cases affects those in their 20s who have a brain tumor or history of drug use.

ALIENHAND SYNDROME Though it’s often been used in terrifying plot twists, Alien Hand Syndrome is hardly limited to the fictional world. Those with this scary, but fortunately rare, mental disorder experience a complete loss of control of a hand or limb. The uncontrollable limb often seems to take on a mind and will of its own, and sufferers have reported their “alien” limb attempting to choke either themselves or others, ripping clothing, or scratching to the point of blood. Alien Hand Syndrome most often appears in patients with Alzheimer’s Disease or Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, or as a result of brain surgery during which the brain’s two hemispheres have been separated. Unfortunately, no cure exists for Alien Hand Syndrome, and those affected by it are often left to keep their hands constantly occupied or use their other hand to control the alien hand.

Apotemnophilia Known also as Body Integrity Disorder and Amputee Identity Disorder, Apotemnophilia is a neurological disorder characterized by the overwhelming desire to amputate or damage healthy parts of the body. Though not much is known about this strangely terrifying disorder, is is believed to be associated with damage to the right parietal lobe of the brain. Because the vast majority of surgeons will not amputate healthy limbs upon request, some sufferers of Apotemnophilia feel forced to amputate on their own — a dangerous scenario. Of those who have had a limb removed by a doctor, most are reportedly happy with their decision even after the fact.

I don't know why people go hard on my man. This is not even highly "gorrific" (if that's a word) like his previous work. This is informative and educative but still y'all snowflakes can't handle that. More grease to your elbow man 3 Likes |

BOANTHROPY Those who suffer from the very very rare but scary mental disorder Boanthropy believe they are cows Often going as far as behaving as such Most sufferers are often seen on all fours with cows , yes eating grass too as if they were a true member of the herd Sufferers don't seem to know what they are doing doing this period Leaving researchers to believe it may have been induced from dreams or even hypnosis Well as interesting as it sounds to some it is believed king Nebuchadnezzar of the Bible suffered from boathrophy with quote 'driven from men and did eat grass as an oxen

COTARD DELUSION There's a healthy interest in the walking dead and other Zombie trend and then theres Cotard Delusion This Bad boy mental disorder causes sufferers to believe they are the walking dead (Literally), or a ghost and their body is decaying and or they have lost all blood or internal Organs The feeling of having a rotten body is actually part of the delusion In some cases most sufferers starve themselves to death This terrifying Disorder was first described by neurologist Jules Cotard though fortunately cotards disorder has been proven rare The most well known case occurred in Haiti , where a man abosoulutly convinced that he had died of Aids gone to hell (religious influence right) Well as scary and folkloric as it sounds it does happen

Diogenes Syndrome Is more commonly referred to as 'hoarding' And is one of the most misunderstood mental Disorders , named after a Greek Philosopher Diogenes of Sinope (who was ironically a minimalist) Sufferers have this compelling desire the collect random objects or items to which emotional attachment is now formed . In addition to this uncontrollably hoarding , sufferers show extreme self neglect , apathy towards themselves and others , social withdrawal and no shame of their habit Common among the elderly , people with dementia and people who at a point in their life have been abandoned (Jeffery Dahmar comes to mind) , or who lacked stable home enviroment growing up 1 Like 2 Shares

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) Also commonly known as multiple personality diaorder , is a terrifying mental illness that is included in myriad movies and television shows Although very generally misunderstood . Sufferers usually have 2 or 3 (usually more ) different identities Sufferers routinely switch between identities and can remain that way for hours even years They can switch identities anytime and without warning and it is almost impossible to convince people with DID that they have it . For this reason those with DID are usually in mental institutions 2 Likes 1 Share
