Sutherland Springs, Texas, November 5, 2017 — 26 dead, 20 wounded A gunman wearing tactical gear and wielding a semiautomatic rifle opened fire in November 2017, at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, a tiny town of 600 east of San Antonio. At least 26 parishioners were killed in the attack. Victims ranged in age from 18 months to 72 years. The gunman was found dead after a brief car chase. The shooting supplanted the 2015 shooting at a Charleston, South Carolina, church as the deadliest mass shooting to take place at a house of worship in the United States Mourners participate in a candlelight vigil held for the victims of a fatal shooting at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Sunday, Nov. 5, 2017, in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

Orlando, June 12, 2016 — 50 dead, 53 wounded Before Las Vegas, the deadliest mass shooting in US history was the 2016 shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Gunman Omar Mateen killed 49 people and wounded at least 53 at the nightclub before he was killed by Orlando police. As the club was hosting a "Latin Night," many of the victims were Latino. During the shooting, Mateen called Orlando police and swore allegiance to the ISIS, although authorities found no evidence of communication between the terrorist group and the attacker. Still, the shooting drew swift condemnation from American Muslims. It remains the deadliest act of terror in the US since September 11 This Monday, July 11, 2016 photo shows a makeshift memorial outside the Pulse nightclub, a month after the mass shooting in Orlando, Fla.

The rampage lasted more than 15 minutes as panicked concertgoers tried to take cover, unaware of where the fire was coming from. By the end of it, 58 people were killed, and more than 850 were injured. A police SWAT unit broke into Paddock's room and found the gunman dead by suicide. 1 Like

KORO SYNDROME (Typical in Nigeria) Koro syndrome takes genital-related anxiety and cranks it all the way to eleven. It's described as a psychiatric disorder where individuals experience extreme irrational paranoia that their joysticks (for males) or vulva/nipples (for females) are shrinking into their bodies, and will eventually cause their deaths. The syndrome has been more commonly exhibited by males, and is more common in Africa and southeast asia than anywhere else in the world. It has also been classed as being an Obsessive Compulsive disorder. Those suffering from Koro syndrome have claimed that their obsessions with their "shrinking Instruments" can range from being quite mild all the way to extreme, with some patients being compelled to measure their privates multiple times a day. Experts have attempted to treat Koro syndrome with medication such as antidepressants as well as behavioral therapy, with varying degrees of success While most people can count themselves lucky to be free of such extreme afflictions, it doesn't diminish the fact that some of these mental illnesses cause patients to experience truly horrific realities even when everything is really just fine. For anyone that can relate to the disorders listed above (or even if you just don't feel that all is fine mentally), then it's probably best that you seek professional help. Understand that there's absolutely no shame in receiving psychiatric treatment, and that reaching out can greatly improve the quality of life for those with the most prevalent mental conditions – such as ADHD, eating disorders, and depression.and.......remember to smile 1 Like

Klüver–Bucy syndrome. At some point, you may have felt the urge to put something random in your mouth – like a pen or a paper clip. But that urge pales in comparison to the ones felt by those suffering from Klüver–Bucy syndrome. Described as an extremely rare cerebral neurological disorder stemming from damage to both the patient's temporal lobes, Klüver–Bucy syndrome causes sufferers to have unusually strong urges to place objects in their mouths, and also have the tendency to engage in inappropriate sexual behavior. While it may sound pretty funny, it probably isn't as much fun for those suffering from the disorder. Other symptoms include placidity (the state of being extremely calm), loss of memory, changes in appetite, as well as hypermetamorophosis (the urge or need explore everything). Due to the disorder stemming from damage to the key areas of the brain, Klüver–Bucy syndrome is pretty uncommon, and is usually treated with the use of psychotropics. 1 Like

Stendhal syndrome Now here’s a peculiar one. Sufferers of Stendhal syndrome experience symptoms such as anxiety, panic attacks, and hallucinations when exposed to art. Or more precisely, extremely beautiful art. Of course, all art is subjective, but Stendhal syndrome has been documented most in people visiting places with plenty of art and architecture, such as museums and galleries. The condition was named after French author Marie-Henri Beyle (who went by the pen name Stendhal) after he documented his feelings of being elated but also extremely anxious after visiting the Basilica of Santa Croce in Italy in 1817. Despite various cases of Stendhal syndrome being reported over the decades since, psychologists are still yet to determine whether or not Stendhal syndrome classifies as a legitimate mental condition.

PARIS SYNDROME A mental disorder that is more amusing than it is freaky, Paris syndrome is defined as a sense of heavy disappointment by some individuals who – upon visiting Paris – experience extreme reality shock due to the city not living up to their expectations. This highly novel condition comes with very real symptoms such as hallucinations, anxiety, dizziness, sweating, and vomiting, and can all be attributed to facing up to the large disconnect between what a sufferer had imagined Paris to be versus what the city really is. The condition has been reported mostly amongst Japanese tourists who are obsessed with the prospect of visiting Paris and experiencing the beautiful culture and sights, but – upon their arrival – are overwhelmed by the language barrier, difference in formalities, and jet lag. Add to that the shattering of the image of Paris portrayed in Japanese media (scuffed up sneakers instead of designer shoes everywhere, or fast food joints instead of alfresco-style cafes along the street, etc), and you have an intensely-stressed-out traveller with a lot of disappointment to deal with 1 Like

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

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. 2 Likes 1 Share
