Psychotic Disorders

Psychotic Disorders are serious mental disorders that cause abnormal ideas and perceptions. People with psychosis lose touch with reality. Two of the main symptoms are delusions and hallucinations. Delusions are false beliefs, such as the idea that another person or people want to harm you, or that television is sending you secret messages. Hallucinations are false perceptions, such as hearing, seeing or feeling something that does not exist.

It may be that the common thing in these spaces is to receive articles on advice and reflections on such healthy things, happiness, couples, children, etc. However, in order to vary a bit about this routine, we think it would be interesting to be able to expand our knowledge with some things that can be a bit strange if we were to run into someone who has it, we are talking about these diseases that are far from being physical It becomes mental, destroying lives around the world, pinking a bit what is disturbing for many, we present you 5 of the most serious psychological diseases that we could know.

Vigorexia

Also called Adonis Complex or inverse anorexia, it is one of the contradictory diseases to what is more commonly known as Anorexia, because it creates the complex of believing to always look thin, reaching the habit of increasing more muscle mass, mostly as it seems they tend to suffer from it people who are dedicated to the muscles.

This disease, although it is psychological, is actually linked to the body of the affected person, because if in case it is not attended in time, the body is the one who suffers the consequences, having voluminous formations as a result of the obsession to want to have a muscular body, The same others tend to fall into this problem thanks to anabolic steroids. This disease usually affects young men who are between 15 and 30 years old..

Cotard syndrome

Or as elsewhere they often call it, the walking body syndrome or the syndrome of the undead, a disease that the sufferer comes to believe that they are dead while they are alive and that their body is in the process of decomposition. This disease can be considered one of the best proofs of how a mental illness can destroy our perception of reality..

This disease is usually called in several ways, in some parts they call it Delusion of Denial or Delusion Nehilitas.

Fatal Family Insomnia

Fatal familial insomnia, as its name suggests, is when those affected lose the ability to sleep, caused by prions (infectious particles that can cause neurological problems)..

This disease is difficult to treat, since the drugs to fall asleep are too aggressive, they are not considered as an alternative to cure the disease, becoming fatal for those who suffer from it, because in the long term they begin to notice what which are disorders, memory loss, dementia, lack of hunger and finally death. In conclusion, this psychological illness has no known cure..

Acrotomophilia

This word comes from the Greek (akron = limb; tome = cut; philia = love).

This disease is a paraphilia that is based on feeling sexual desire to amputations or to people who have an amputation, according to Wikipedia those who suffer from it are usually "devotees" (as they prefer to call themselves), they prefer people who have limb amputations lower and even better if they are with stumps.

There is another similar disease, called Body Integration Identity Disorder, which, unlike the previous one, is the one who has the desire to amputate parts of their body.

Autophagy

Cannibalism, a good word to try to describe this disease, only that in this case the affected person does not seek to eat parts of the body of another person, but of himself, autophagy is mental illness where the person who suffers from it has an excessive impulse to eat body parts.

In most cases, the victims of this disease have not come to conclude these wishes, in addition to considering that this is a very rare disease.

In addition to these ills for sure there are many others, if you know one that you think is much worse, you can comment below.
