Very Rare Disease

Trichotillomania:

This is a strange disease. The person who suffers from this disease has urge to pull one’s hair out. Be it body hair, scalp hair, beard hair, eyelashes, nose hair or eyebrows. Abnormalities in the natural brain chemicals serotonin and dopamine may play a role in causing this disease.

Cotard’s Syndrome:

The sufferer of this disease feels that he or she is dead and non-existent. The sufferer also feels that he/she lost his or her blood or internal organs; the patient even feels that the internal parts are putrefying. It can arise due to mental illness and is associated with depression.

Capgras Delusion:

In this disease, the sufferer becomes convinced that a family member usually spouse has been replaced by an identical looking imposter. He or she refuses to sleep with the imposter. Some victims even second guess their own reflections in the mirror. Some Researchers say this is due to brain damage from a stroke or drug overdose and others say that it is followed after accidents that cause damage to the right side of the brain.

Genital Retraction Syndrome:

Genital Retraction Syndrome causes the victims to become panicked and frantic. In this disease males think their penis is shrinking, retracting and disappearing into abdomen; if it is in the case of females, they think breasts are retracting into the body. Sometimes sufferers believe that it is due to witchcraft.
