About the most mysterious neurological disorders that have ever struck the human body.
Suzanne O"Sullivan, a neurologist and the author of this book, had a chance to observe girls from Sweden who suddenly fell into an unconscious state, and learn more about the inhabitants of a small Kazakh village, who could sleep for several days in a row. On the pages of the book, she recalls the epidemic of neurological symptoms that occurred in the usual secondary school of the American city of Le-Roy, a strange disease that struck representatives of the small Nicaraguan community in Texas, as well as other atypical and sometimes frightening cases of neurological disorders.
Dr. O"Sullivan is trying to figure out what psychosomatic diseases are, how they arise and manifest, and it is possible to somehow help people recover.
Paralysis, blindness, headache, dizziness, coma, tremor, as well as any other symptom or health problem that can be imagined, can potentially be psychosomatic.
How is it possible for someone to fall into a coma when his brain is completely healthy?
What causes paralysis of the lower extremities with a psychosomatic disorder if the nervous pathways are not damaged?
"Suzanna O"Sullivan reveals the nature of reflecting the essence of the human type of violations - functional neurological disorders. The mechanisms of development of these states not only demonstrate the amazing abilities of the human brain, but also reveal the inseparability of the social and cultural aspects of human being from physical health. The book will be interesting and useful to a wide circle of readers, and especially doctors, neurologists and psychiatrists. " - Veronika Orange, neurologist, epileptologist, doctor of the Eviclinic evidence clinic and the center of epileptology and neurology named after A.A. Ghazaryan (Krasnodar)
