The 15 WEIRDEST Psychological Disorders

I have ocd and I’m suprised it wasn’t on this list but compared to the ones here I do understand why. But it is horribly misunderstood and a lot of people don’t understand how severe and life altering it can be.

I haven’t been diagnosed with DID but my friend is a psychologist and she saw me switch alters before so she told me about how I seem to be doing it often

Beautiful art

There's no way this isn't the same voice from Ted Ed videos

Here’s a non neurological one that I think is quite weird
Auto Brewery Syndrome:A Person Is Always Drunk

Why do i get scared of hearing stuff like this?

I have chronic dissociation/derealization. Navigating the water between intellectually "knowing" things are "real" and emotionally knowing nothing is real is really difficult. Especially when everything in me FEELS nothing is real.

I might have a lower type of Alice in wonderland syndrome because when I'm laying down I feel as small as my eyes and the world around me seems like a large area.

Kinda funny brain observating brain for not knowing itself

Heard of this mental disorder where you think people around you have been replaced by impostors. As a child, I thought my mother was replaced by a robot.

I had a vivid dream where I peaked into a room in my house. The light of the TV was on my parents’ faces. My mom’s head was cut open with her brain exposed. I ran away before seeing anything more graphic. I remembering on the phone with her calling her a robot and I think crying. My mother was kinda emotionally closed off, I think she’s autistic so it made her act a certain way. So I believe my child mind rationalized her personality by thinking she was replaced.

Also had a dream that Vicky from The Fairly Odd Parents was giving people in my family disturbing “haircuts,” one person was mutated with a crab in their head. I was so disgusted and horrified, it’s more terrifying than I’m making it sound. Imagine your loved ones being deformed by someone.

for a little bit of my life i was stressed with college and medical stuff. i went on a hike and i got lost i got so overwhelmed that i felt like i was dreaming or depersonalization. i felt like all the trees and the ground and my body was a flat image and i had like a vr on. once i found my way home i went to sleep and woke up. i felt normal after that

as someone with maladaptive daydreaming disorder, derealization, autism, and ADHD, it incredibly hard to describe my mental state to people. its so interesting to see how neurotypical people see the world and how they interact with it.

A friend of mine has Alice in Wonderland syndrome, and it sounds really strange and scary. She actually made a drawing of it, which I found interesting

when i was going through an extreme delusional episode i developed apotemnophilia. luckily it didnt progress to the point of actual removal but i did try to remove my left eye multiple times and damaged my eye slightly (i went temporarily blind) but nothing permanent. ive recovered now though so 🤗

note: it was not of sexual origin

This is really dope, I loved the design too. Really trippy retro videogamy vibes. Stoner approved

My guess is that there is a greater mystery in the universe, we just don't know it exists yet.

Doesn't Greg basically have Truman disorder in diary of a wimpy kid? he said after watching a movie about a guy who's life was actually a tv show he thought his life was to and that his family might be actors or robots.

bro put ads in a sponsored video

Did anyone else come to see if theirs was on the list?

I suffer from derealization. Mental illness is so scary. It's scarier than physical illness, I dare say. You can't see it, you don't know when it's coming and no one seems to truly understand unless they have it. This is coming from someone who has several illnesses

What if Jesus Christ just had Jerusalem Syndrome and that's why he thought he was the son of God? 🤔

I often experience delusions and I lose my sense of self. Like every day. Idk wtf it could be

As a kid, i used to imagine my parents were replaced by impostors, for fun, because i was bored, but i never believed it

i actually dealt with Truman Show-esque delusions for a while at one point lol, thought cameras were hidden in my walls and my family were actors, it was accompanied by a derealisation episode which made everything look fake and just "furthur" convinced me for a while, thought i had to kill someone to get off the show as well

i was later diagnosed with early-onset schizophrenia with paranoia

The way you described DID wasn’t the best representation of the disorder in my opinion. It’s of no fault of your own because it is a very complex disorder and I appreciate the disclaimer at the beginning but I just wanted to clear it up for my own peace of mind. You have a very simplistic definition but it’s again very complex. DID is a disorder that developed after severe continuous childhood trauma or abuse where the brain cannot process the events they had to experience so the mind compartmentalizes them into separate “identities” which as the individual grows up become fully developed people in their own right. Though you only technically have to have 2 distinct alternatives states of identify (often shortened to “alters”) there are commonly more than 2. It’s not a delusion as this is genuinely how their brain has adapted and it’s rather different from the other disorders. Also the idea that DID can develop due to clinical suggestion is an example of non traumagenic cases of this disorder which though still real is somewhat of a misrepresentation of the disorder because it generally has to develop during childhood while the individuals brain and identity is still developing. This explanation can also sometimes invalidate genuine experiences of covert DID (which until the idividual realizes they have DID is extremely common) and cause some issues with accepting that the person actually has the disorder. I just felt the need to explain it a little better because I have DID (as well as derealization depersonalization disorder) but otherwise this was a great video shedding light on lesser known “strange” disorder. Keep up the good work!

I have anxiety and at times everything feels like it is in slow motion. I will even try to speed up music or talk fast to convince myself that it’s not in slow motion. Until I calm down does it go back to normal.

Ive suffered from phantom pregnancy when i lost my virginity, it was 5 months of terror and wanting to end myself, i was gutting my period normally, i had taken a bunch of pregnancy tests and all of them said negative. I took a lot of precautions when having my first time, so obviously it was impossible for me to get pregnancy 😊

I have DID! I have 2 alters and they talk to each other all time time

Someone with DPDR (depersonalization/derealization), I explain the condition as sitting in an empty room full of clocks, and all the clocks drive you so insane to the point where you try leave your own mind, making you feel like you're distant from your own thoughts and feelings dpdr is almost like living with your mind at the ground, like it's a constant feeling of uneasiness and like everything and everyone is different or not real. As an example, with my situation of the condition I tend to feel as if my mind is empty or as if it's all a dream, and that I'm in a coma and my family is waiting for me to wake up in the real world, like everything I've gone through and everyone I've met are just my imagination in a world of my unconsciousness, like I will wake up at any moment.

Definitely subbed loved everything about this video from the sarcastic but non-emotional facts to the funny art style.

Just here to say brilliant changed my life. This is not just some gimmick sponsor everyone puts on their videos… its truly an amazing platform that can teach so much if you’re into learning!

I'd bet that people in the Backrooms develop all of these disorders.

Especially the imposter disorder. There are actual Impersonators in the Backrooms 😮

Too bad did isn't real

your drawings look high asf lowk lol

I suffer from dpdr, and I'm shocked that you mentioned how we she the world in a grayish way. When i go into a more severe episode, I can see the colors change.

When ur disorder is on the weirdest disorders list 💔

It was a little upsetting as someone with BIID to see it called apotemnophilia. I understand it’s the term some people use and that all of our experiences are completely unique to us, but nearly everyone else suspected to have the disorder I’ve talked to either don’t personally use that term or are uncomfortable with it. I’m with the second group - I really don’t like seeing something that has been horrific to deal with throughout my life labeled a ‘philia’ or a fetish. Having a fetish for thinking about amputating a limb or disabling yourself in some other way is entirely different from BIID or what you called apotemnophilia.

I’m just glad you didn’t call it being ‘trans abled.’ I hate that term even more.

Visual agnosia is fascinating but isn’t psychological-it’s neurological and maps to a very specific part of the brain!

The summer I was 17 I genuinely believed I wasn’t real.
This lasted at least a month, maybe two. I felt like the world was made of “paper tissues” as in there was nothing behind walls or doors, the world was only what I could see. I felt too scared to open my bedroom door sometimes because I thought nothing was on the other side. I felt hatred towards my cats because even though I loved them, they weren’t real and didn’t make me feel real. Sometimes I thought I disappeared from peoples minds when I wasn’t around them, or that they disappeared from existence when they weren’t around me. Sometimes I thought I was a ghost, or at least I remember having a dream during this time that I had died by suicide when I was 12 (when I was 12 I attempted suicide many times). I thought I didn’t have blood, I remember cutting myself as deep as dermis and not bleeding, though that might not have actually happened since I don’t know how that’d be possible. At its worst I was planning suicide because of these thoughts, I cant be sure if I actually attempted anything though.
Most of these things I only know happened because I still have the message conversations from then. It’s a terrifying thing to feel. My whole life I can remember I struggled with derealization but that summer was the most severe.

I lived with episodes of derealization for years without having a word for it. It was such a relief when I figured it out a few years ago. I cried tears of joy.
It’s so hard to explain if you’re not experiencing it. For me it’s like suddenly my view of the world is as if my body is a giant fleshy mech and I’m looking out through my eyes like I’m a tiny person in the head of a power ranger mech. It’s the closest description I’ve come to getting it across.
I don’t get depersonalization, so it’s mostly just a visual perception thing.
For me the only thing I can do do get the episode to move on is ignore it as best as I can. My episodes last a few weeks to a few months, but it’s the first week or so that takes some time to adjust.

I think i suffer from depersonalization/derealization in some way.

i feel liie this video is trying to bring ppl into a psychosis-state, this ain't good. most of these are highly probably called something completely else like *psychosis*. please stay intact with reality you all.

the weirdest one I've heard of is autophagia, which is divided in sections, everyone has it to a certain extent like nail picking or eating those little skins that randomly peel, some have the urge to bite themselves or others, some eat their hair and form rockhard hairballs, the more extreme ones involve drinking your own blood, some describing it's taste as coins, and the urge to chop off a piece of themselves and eating it, which is called self cannibalism, isn't the human brain weird?

I have derealisation myself and it is one of the craziest things. It started when i was in a really stressful time and it never went away. Now i ask myself with everything ‘is this real? Am i real?’ Its like living in a bubble and watching your own life happen without actually living it.

I dealt with the Truman show disorder for a while cause of a bad trip. Life genuinely can be flipped upside down in just a night y’all. I’m Good now but that was almost 8 months ago and I’m finally ok

We’re all just lumps of flesh that don’t understand themselves.
