The 3 most terrifying mental disorders
Mental disorders are
any kind of thinking problem that takes someone beyond the boundaries of
accepted norms. In order for something to be classified as a mental disorder,
it usually also has to have a negative impact on some aspect of a person’s
life.
Sometimes the mental disorders can be terrifying and dangerous. Here you will read the most terrifying mental disorders (in my opinion).
3.- Fatal Familial Insomnia
FFI begins as an unexplained sleeplessness during middle age and rapidly develops into a fatal insomnia. It is caused by a genetic mutation which leads to a prion disease, related in nature to Mad Cow Disease (BSE or CJD) and Kuru.
Technically people with this syndrome lose their capacity of sleep.No matter how tired you are, sleep is almost impossible. Over the months, it causes brain damage leading to phobias even death. As the chemicals to provide solution to this problem are harmful to health, this syndrome have no cure.
2.- Body Integrity Identity Disorder
2.- Body Integrity Identity Disorder
When a
person's idea of how they should look does not match their actual physical
form, it can be caused by Body Integrity Identity Disorder. This condition
affects a small percentage of the population and is commonly manifested by a
desire to have an amputation of a specific body part. In most cases, the limb
that the person would like to remove is actually in healthy working order and
there are no physical problems with it.
Most human beings engage in mild forms of autophagia with some regularity. This behavior is typically limited to biting fingernail and chewing on dead skin at the tips of fingers or on the lips. This type of behavior may be indicative of elevated levels of stress, but is not normally cause of concern.
In more serious cases of autophagia, the behavior involves selfmutilation, and comes to resemble a form of cannibalism.
There is nothing more grotesque self-mutilation and then eat their amputated limb
