There are times when doctors are unreliable, including strange psychological conditions that have caused dilemmas for psychiatrists and psychologists over the years. From mysterious mental illnesses like schizophrenia to the most bizarre deaths, doctors have come across cases severe enough to just raise their hands.
In fact, not much is known about medicine and the human body. When confined to the brain, there are many complications. This list explores the strangest examples of what patients have told psychiatrists and psychologists. And it's not ordinary people. Even celebrities suffer from bipolar disorder and various mental disorders. Read on to discover what is causing you to brainwash.
5. The Man Who Got Selective Emotional Detachment From Brain Surgery :
Dr. Neuroscientist and prolific writer Oliver Sacks has documented his strangest and most interesting examples of an inexplicable mental state. One was about a man who was a loving husband and father who hated hospitals before undergoing brain surgery to help with epilepsy. However, after undergoing brain surgery, he became very cold for his family, broke up with his family, and began to love doctors, hospitals and strangers.
Although they couldn't give a perfectly satisfactory explanation, Sachs and his team described the man's emotional behavior after surgery as "losing selective reactions to the family, the category group of patients."
4. Phineas Gage Survived A Tamping Iron That Speared His Skull :
The famous Phineas Gage case is from Vermont. In 1848, Gage's early explosion struck an iron rail in his face through his head. The fact that he survived is mysterious, but friends and family said that his personality had changed so much that he looked completely different.
What is the reason? Some doctors thought that previous brain damage led to personality changes, but recent studies have shown that the right frontal cortex is intact. Researchers still do not know what caused the gage's dramatic change.
3. Medicines Used To Treat King George III Probably Caused Or Worsened His Madness :
King George III's madness is well known. The king of the British Empire went through a period of utter madness when he had to blockade. He spoke for hours until he hit his mouth with magical and fascinating vocabulary. His illness was completely overwhelmed by his illness.
Interestingly, this was diagnosed retrospectively with a genetic defect called porphyria, but until 2005 there was no convincing evidence for this theory. The researchers found that King George's blood contained high levels of high arsenic. It is associated with porphyria. Obviously, his medication contained arsenic, which meant that what he wanted to treat made his condition worse.
2. The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat :
One of his most famous books, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat (1985), Dr. Oliver Sacks describes the odd case of a man with visual cognitive impairment (Sachs calls "Dr. P."), the "man" of the same name. "The man who believed his wife covered his head. The man could see. He simply couldn't make the object in his sight. Dr. P's condition: means he couldn't distinguish between an object and a person.
And Dr. P. thought his wife was just a hater. He abused fire hydrants for children and talked about door handles and furniture handles. When describing the situation, Sachs compared the man's visual confusion to Magu's visual confusion.
1. Kim Noble Displayed Over 20 Different Personalities :
Her name may be Kim Noble, but when talking to her she is probably talking to her dominant personality, Patricia. In this extreme case of Depressive Personality Disorder (DID) or Multiple Personality Disorder, Noble had more than 20 different personalities, including boys who write only in Latin and young women with anorexia.
