A syndrome of mental depression and suicidal tendencies, in which the patient complains of having lost everything: possessions, part of or entire body, often believing that he or she has died and is a walking corpse. This delusion is usually expanded to the degree that the patient might claim that he can smell his own rotting flesh and feel worms crawling through his skin. The latter phenomenon is a recurring experience of people chronically deprived of sleep or suffering amphetamine/cocaine psychosis. Paradoxically, being "dead" often gives the patient the nation of being immortal. Other megalomelancholic ideas may be present. Aetiology unknown. Seen especially in manic-depressive patients or in certain brain syndromes.

I believe the actual terminology for this is called "persistance of vision"\n\nIn loose terms, it's very much like when you stare at the black dot on the green apple for 15 seconds, then close your eyes, then with your eyes closed you see a white spot and a red apple.\n\nsee : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_of_vision

Synaesthesia: A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color. \n\nSynaesthesia is my favorite neurological disorder.

Some people experience a phenomenon known as synaesthesia. That occurs when people perceive multiple senses in repsonse to one stimulus. For example, many synaesthetes report being able to smell the colors they see, even if there's no chemical around to cause them to smell something. It's just a quirk in their brain.\n\nI can "see" loud noises if my eyes are shut. Loud clattering and crashing sounds cause me to see a flash of white when my eyes are shut. Likewise, I perceive colors when I think of certain numbers. \n\n0 = white\n1 = black on a white field\n2 = yellow\n3 = green\n4 = light blue\n5 = red\n6 = brown\n7 = magenta\n8 = dark blue\n9 = brown

Hippopotomonstroses- quippedaliophobia = fear of long words. \n\nSome languages, but not English, are constructed in a way that allows words to be very long, you can add many words together as one. As an example (a rather short one) "Internetuppkopplings- sladdsanordning" means Internet connection wire device in Swedish. Totally useless word and it's hard to read to, but still it's a single word. \n\n(Lol, the words were even to long for yahoo to allow. A clear case of Hippopotomonstroses- quippedaliophobia )

ESP (extrasensory perception)\nmost commonly called the "sixth sense." It is sensory information that an individual receives which comes beyond the ordinary five senses sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It can provide the individual with information of the present, past, and future; as it seems to originate in a second, or alternate reality. ^_^

It's a sort of bi-polar disorder.  I worked with a gal that had it, she was very bright, however when she did not take her medicine, she became very anxious, confused, suicidal, and worrisome.\n\nIt's like a panic disorder, look at the link below.\nIndividuals with AS can exhibit a variety of characteristics and the disorder can range from mild to severe. Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest. They have a great deal of difficulty reading nonverbal cues (body language) and very often the individual with AS has difficulty determining proper body space. Often overly sensitive to sounds, tastes, smells, and sights, the person with AS may prefer soft clothing, certain foods, and be bothered by sounds or lights no one else seems to hear or see. It's important to remember that the person with AS perceives the world very differently.

(m)\n\nXerophthalmia (Greek for dry eyes) is a medical condition in which the eye fails to produce tears. It may be caused by a deficiency in Vitamin A and is sometimes used to describe that lack, although there may be other causes.\n\nXerophthalmia is a term that usually implies a destructive dryness of the conjunctival epithelium due to dietary vitamin A deficiency—a condition virtually forgotten in developed countries, but still causing much damage in developing countries. Other forms of dry eye are associated with aging, poor lid closure, scarring from previous injury, or autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and these can all cause chronic conjunctivitis.\n\nXerophthalmia can be associated with systemic diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, and hypothyroidism; deficiency of vitamin A; and the use of some medications including antihistamines, nasal decongestants, tranquilizers, and anti-depressant drugs. Xerophthalmia results from inadequate function of the lacrimal glands which produce tears. When xerophthalmia is due to vitamin A deficiency, the condition begins with night blindness and conjunctival xerosis (dryness of the eye membranes) and progresses to corneal xerosis (dryness of the cornea), and, in the late stages, to keratomalacia (softening of the cornea).\n\nThe treatment depends on the cause. Artificial tears, which lubricate the eye, are the principal symptomatic treatment for dry eye. They are available over-the-counter as eye drops. Using humidifiers, wearing wrap-around glasses when outside, and avoiding outside windy and dry conditions may bring relief. For people with severe cases of dry eye, temporary or permanent closure of the tear drain (small openings at the inner corner of the eyelids where tears drain from the eye) may be helpful. Also known as conjunctivitis arida.
