There are so many different
medical syndromes in the world that actual classification is nearly
impossible. But there are certainly some syndromes that are very weird.
This particular article deals with exactly those kind of syndromes that
are mind-boggling while I went through these I really felt sorry for
these people who because just like phobias, not all the syndromes are
treatable! So begin reading and find out what several people go through
in their daily lives!
10. Moebius Syndrome
This is one the rarest
disorder which a person has by birth. It is a neurological disorder that
renders the patients incapable of any expressions! What happens is that
the patient is not able to move their eyes from right to left or to
give any sort of facial expression due to the reason that they cannot
use the muscles in their face. In simple words that cannot frown, or
smile, or making the O face, or show grimace! This order might also
cause club feet which might be due to the skeletal issues that come
along with this syndrome. Other problems that can be associated with
this include respiratory problems, speech problems, swallowing
disorders, visual impairments, weak upper body strength, and sleep
disorders!
9. Busy Life Syndrome
When you read that the main
symptoms of this syndrome are a tendency to forget things and a serious
lack of concentration, you might think that you are suffering from this
syndrome too! Although the fact that forgetfulness occurs in the old age
but recently it has been observed that due to a very busy life at work
and a hectic schedule at home, forgetfulness is becoming increasingly
common in people who are younger in age! Lead researchers are ground
quoting that another aspect of why we having suddenly started becoming
to forgetful is also because of excessive information that is received
from so many different media channels and stations which I think is
true!
8. Walking Corpse Syndrome (Cotard’s Syndrome)
This is one of those syndromes
that generally not found to be chronic and may be a part of various
mood disorders or in the worst case, they may be a feature of
schizophrenic organic disorder of some kind! What happens to patients
who are suffering from this is that they tend to think they are not
alive! Not only this, the patients think that they do not exist at all,
some might think they have lost all of their organs or their blood. Then
there are patients who think that they smell like rotting fish. When I
found out about this syndrome, I felt really sorry for such people!
7. Gourmand Syndrome
If a person has had an injury
to the right frontal lobe than they might be in for the gourmand
syndrome. What happens to such people is that they develop a strange
attraction towards gourmet food! It is because of lesions or an injury
to the right frontal lobe that the patients have this intense urge to
eat fine food! Although the condition is benign and is not all that
horrifying as we might most syndromes and is certainly no where near
schizophrenia but never the less, it can be heavily injurious to ones
wallet!
6. Genital Retraction Syndrome
This is one of those syndromes
that actually made me laugh and no not because I am mean but simply
because it is very silly. What happens is that patients start thinking
that their genitals (which includes the bosom of a woman for female
patients) have started to shrink. Some think that they are retracting
back into the body so much so that they keep fearing that the genitals
will disappear altogether! This condition is often found in cultures
where there are not enough or suitable medical practices. This syndrome
is obviously related to the brain and has nothing to with voodoo or
which craft but this is what the people without sufficient knowledge
seem to think! It has been rumored that in Asia and Africa, this disease
got so widespread that it became known as “penis panics”! I am sure at
this point you all are at the point of hysterics!
5. Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Syndrome
This is one of the chronic
syndromes in which the normal sleeping pattern of the patient is delayed
by one or two hours and there is a chronic steady pattern where the
delay is only related to the sleep on set and to the wake up time! The
delays occur in a pattern that completes its cycle in as much as a week
sometimes! Due to the disturbance in the body clock the patient
eventually suffers from serious night-time sleeplessness and then that
is obviously followed by extreme fatigue during the day time!
This is one neurological
disorder that is caused due to some imbalance in the genetics of a
person! The interesting thing is that this disorder mostly affect blind
people rather than sighted people!
4. Foreign Accent Syndrome
This is a syndrome where the
speech of a normal person takes a very dramatic turn. This normally
happens after a person has hit his head which has caused brain damage.
What this sort of problem does is that it alters the normal accent of a
person and people have started to speak in foreign languages that were
previously unknown to them!
3. Exploding Head Syndrome
In this syndrome, the patients
tend to hear exploding noises and they have reported that these loud
noises originate from their own head! The bad thing is that these loud
noises which may vary from gunshots to roars to bomb explosions occur
right after they have gone to sleep which is very sad!
Such victims are not injured
or otherwise hurt but they do feel fear and anxiety after such attacks!
The condition is linked to fatigue and extreme tiredness!
2. Fish Odor Syndrome (Trimethylaminuria)
This one here is a very rare
disease. I would refrain from the biological dialogue and would tell you
that there is some enzyme that is supposed to break down
trmethylaminuria in the food and due to the lack of that, a person’s
sweat, breath, or urine, give off a very strong odour which in worst
cases smells like raw fish!
1. Sexsomnia Disorder
Last but certainly not the least we have
Sexsomnia. I am sure nearly all of the readers have heard about sleep
walking, but this one constitutes a person having sex while sleeping.
This can be alone or with a partner but this is weird so I would not say
further on this topic. One interesting thing is that this disorder has
been used as a defence in some cases of rape!
