Lhermitte's hallucinosis

_**Lerimitta hallucinosis (Lerma**_') is an infectious, often fatal somatic disease that affects some organs of the body and the functions of the individual’s consciousness. Also called pedicular hallucinous psychosis. This is the effect of another type of psychosis, usually causing the phenomenon of “illusions” - inappropriate, embedded, unnatural, double feelings. In addition to the perception of illusions, hallucinations can be pathological to the sensation of experiences and interpretations regarding external physical or chemical stimuli. This disease occurs against the background of other pathologies and diseases, which serves as an indicator of weakening the vitality of the body.

This psychosis was first recorded in 1835 by the French neurologist **Georges David and psychiatrist Jean Charles Casner**, who worked together in the city of Bugey, hence the short name of the disease, named after Gaston Itard. By the way, the French physician in subsequent years would be busy, among other things, describing and correcting the term “lethargy” to denote a pathological condition, while the term “lethargic sleep” would be used to denote a disturbance of consciousness. Translated from Greek, the term is translated as “delirium.”

In 2011, a case was reported by the agency Mecanismos Associados de Comunicacao.

With this disease, a person cannot distinguish what is happening among themselves from the mental formations created by his brain from stimuli, such as speech, motor impulses and tactile signals from the outside.

Symptoms Victims rarely recover within weeks or even months. Typically one to six months of treatment are required. The disease is often characterized by the following symptoms:

- Fever, chills - Severe sweating, elevated mood, body tremors - Impaired speech and vision, blurred consciousness - Visual illusions, hallucinatory experiences - Pain throughout the body, serious condition - Difficulty in orientation in space, inadequate perception of the interlocutor’s speech and internal thoughts - Amnesia (partial memory loss), impaired logic - Organ failure to varying degrees

The disease occurs in several stages. Initially, minor symptoms occur, such as increased anxiety, deafness, or impaired motor function. This is followed by a period of visual illusions and auditory hallucinations. Then it becomes difficult to distinguish your sensations from the world around you, since they are projected directly into the brain. Without treatment, the disease progresses and completely consumes the individual's consciousness, leading to brain death.
