Idk if it counts, but Fatal Familial Insomnia sounds horrifying

Imagine you progressively lose all ability to sleep in the course of several years. I believe a guy who suffered from it (long dead since) reported his last terrifying weeks on YT

Sleep deprivation over 24 hours messes with your head nevermind weeks or months it does sound terrifying

Cotard's syndrome. Makes the person who has it believe that they are dead, dying, or do not exist.

I've just looked online about this and another fun fact about it is some sufferers believe they are immortal.

The disorder which makes those affected think everyone around them is an impostor impersonating the real one. It both fascinates and scares me to death.

Body Identity Integrity Disorder (BIID). Apparently higher in populations with higher degrees of familial intermarriage (inbreeding).

I've just read up on this it's so weird that people get urges to amputate limbs and some urges can be overwhelming.

Some people have had the communication between the two halves of their brain severed. It's called callosal syndrome. It leads to some very interesting effects.

Your brain is kind of hooked up backwards to your body. The left half controls the right side and vise versa.

When these people are shown an image only in the left half of each eye's visual field, it only goes to the right side of their brain through the optic nerves.

But your speech center is on the other side (the left). SO THEY CANNOT NAME THE THING! Like, they know what it is intellectually, but they can't produce the word until the left side of their brain gets to see it.
