LOL!

Just watched a vid on Cotard's syndrome and 1 of the symptons is feeling like youre missing organs leading you to think you are dead and Im sat here thinking what if I dont actually have kidneys :suspect: :joker:

It was his dad and apartment too. And the Doc mentioned a case about a pet dog being thought as an imposter. So odd but interesting.

there is a film in there somewhere.

SHE SOUNDS LIKE NADIA FROM BIG BROTHER! :amazed:

Only less annoying and masculine.

Maybe Nadia has foreign accent syndrome :suspect:

im not missing any organs,just a piano

Nadia IS foreign. lol

dont try to intimidate me j,lol

Wow totes amazeballs, i think i suffer from sinesthesia as orange smarties taste orange...waddyameanimnuts!?

at last a post i can understand,lol

In all seriousness these are all facinating, some more than others, the human flesh one? i can only assume its due to a deficiency in something?...something we cant get from food?

not to state the obvious,but its all in the mind,of the person suffering from each dissorder, the mind is a powerfull thing, when its not working right any dissorder is possible,

its that age old saying,your not thinking straight!

I hate Freudian theories so much.

to an extent yes, but some are pysical, and some are psychological. My fave is the foreign accent one,i see it as a link to a passed life.... contraversial :)

ooh ukt, i wish that study had gone a little further in the examination and taken the photos of his parents from various stages in his life, not just the most recent. It could be that they just dont fit into one particular timeframe he is trapped in...or like my kids they are changelings...lol!

Interesting... mad, but interesting. I often wonder whether if the more coverage these syndromes get, the more people suffer from them?

Capgras Syndrome.

Interesting stuff. I wonder if they go so far as to go to the police and insist their family member is an imposter. It's quite scary really.

I've heard of all of these before and I'm not sure how because I don't take a huge amount of interest in psychological disorders :laugh: weird. The foreign accent syndrome is so fascinating though.

Are you suggesting psychological problems are all in peoples heads livia? ;)

It would be horrible to live with forever, but I want to experience numbers 5 and 7. Especially number 7.

This was the German guy who ate people..

In one of the most extraordinary trials in German criminal history, the self-confessed cannibal admitted that he had met a 43-year-old Berlin engineer, Bernd Brandes, after advertising on the internet, and had chopped him up and eaten him.

It was, he said, something he had wanted to do for a long time. "I always had the fantasy and in the end I fulfilled it," Meiwes told the court on the first day of his trial for murder in the nearby city of Kassel

In March 2001 Meiwes advertised on the internet for a "young well-built man, who wanted to be eaten". Brandes replied.

On the evening of March 9, the two men went up to the bedroom in Meiwes' rambling timbered farmhouse. Mr Brandes swallowed 20 sleeping tablets and half a bottle of schnapps before Meiwes cut off Brandes' penis, with his agreement, and fried it for both of them to eat

Brandes - by this stage bleeding heavily - then took a bath, while Meiwes read a Star Trek novel

....as you do in those awkward moments

...the guy volunteered for it

Edit: I shouldn't have said 'people'..I think he only did it once...there's a bit of a shortage of volunteers these days

Saw a documentary about that once, I remember the guy who had his penis chopped off was apparently disappointed there wasn't more blood and that it was too chewy to eat

..It's irritating when you don't get what you order

LOL... literally.

I do think some of the wackier syndromes are 'acquired' by some people to make themselves seem more interesting. It's like people who say they have a phobia, but in reality are just scared of something. Or perhaps I'm just cynical... or perhaps there's a more interesting clinical name for what I am!
