Cyclothymia? Euthymia? by Adam

June 22nd, 2007 3:54 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Make up a clinical disorder that accurately represents your mental condition. You must create diagnostic criteria, symptoms, causes, and treatment. Give it a good name and a good cure. Unless, of course, you don't need a cure.

Do not use this task as a forum to discuss a disorder with which you have already been diagnosed.

Nitorsaetapiniguismorbus




Directly translated from Latin to English it means: Bright hair large disease.
Nitromorbus for short

Basically it is mainly found in those rare bread of people, like myself, which are endowed with both ginger hair and a weight problem. Other common causes include glasses, poor fashion taste, easily burnt skin, freckles, a lack of social skills and high intellegence. It is very common in Britain and is only prevelant in the population between the ages of 11-21 although some cases have existed where the sufferer is found to have the disease up to the age of 32.

The main symptom of this disease can be a strange compulsion to learn and to find out more about things. Sufferers tend to find out that when they don't know something they want to find out. The ginger hair associated with nitomorbus can cause many social problems including taunting and embarassment. The stigma attatched to nitromorbus is commonly found in the UK but not so much in Europe and the US where it is more accepted.

There are many tests to find out whether someone is a NSPM sufferer but one of the major control tests is to put a suspected suferer in front of a digital-enabled television and the % of BBC Four, BBC Radio 4, BBC News 24, National Geographic Channel, Discovery and BBC Parliament watched can be used. The higher the percentage of these watched the more likely the sufferer is to have NSPM. 65% is usually the threshold.

There are no cures for the disease but it's effects can be minimalised by a lack of education and it is also found to be more common in towns and cities such as Cambridge, Oxford, London and Edinburgh where higher education forms a major part of the population.
