As much as we think that mental illness is something new, that was born from recent research or did not exist before, it is proven that in ancient times many people suffered psychological imbalances, here we will talk about some of them.
Thanks to literature, for example, it was possible to know which diseases of the mind were the most recurrent in the Middle Ages. At the time, the terms “folie”, “depression” were used. What about post-traumatic stress? (although they are known in other words).
- While it is true that the presence of mental disorders has increased in recent years.
- There is no denying that there were people with psychological disorders before.
- Turns out sometimes there wasn’t a name to call them or a search behind to deal with them.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 10% of the population in the 21st century suffers from some form of mental disorder, many of these pathologies are linked to a sociocultural context, such as food imbalances or anxiety disorders.
Wendy’s syndrome: We have talked about this syndrome on other occasions, and as in history, it is also related to Peter Pan, in this case the person has every responsibility to be next to someone immature, besides, the syndrome manifests itself in a need to satisfy and please the other, for fear of abandonment or rejection. This most often occurs in women with their partner or children.
Catophobia: It is a syndrome that is defined as “excessive fear of looking in the mirror”. This fear is unwarranted and abnormal. What is not known is if the phobia is only related to the reflection of a surface or the image that emerges from it, for example, avoid getting into elevators with mirrors or spending too much time in the bathroom, the risk factors of this disorder are: low emotional intelligence and low self-esteem.
Capgras disease: Those with this syndrome do not recognize a loved one and think that he has been replaced by a double action or an imposter, the problem is that the person suffers from a disconnect between emotional memory and the visual recognition system. better to understand this evil, to watch the English movie?(2008).
Foreign accent syndrome: when someone travels for some reason to a country other than their own or spends a lot of time with a stranger and then starts talking to that country’s accent, this can be considered normal; however, this syndrome occurs in those who have had no contact with this language. It’s related to a major brain injury, such as a stroke.
Euphobia: Did you know there’s a phobia of getting good news?Something that may seem a little strange, but it happens. People with euphoria are happy to receive bad news and have trouble digesting them. The good news. It is clear that the answer is irrational, this does not mean that the patient is a bad person, but that he is afraid of suffering when something good happens to him.
Permarexia: Eating disorders are very common these days and there is a lot of talk about them in the media, mainly bulimia, alcohol and anorexia, but there are other imbalances related to eating, such as permarexia, the individual lives from one diet after another. Since one has not given you an immediate result, move on to the next one.
When you’re tired of an option, you’re looking for a new diet and trying to do so, quickly and rigorously, and tend to set very difficult and wellness-incompatible weight loss goals.
Because they fail to achieve their goals, internal responsibilities are often assigned, being attacked for not maintaining their will or for not being smart enough to follow a proper diet.
This causes frustration, depression, low self-esteem and self-esteem and, above all, physical imbalances from not consuming certain nutrients or spending a lot of time drinking tea.
