Psychosis Collective: Decoding and impact on society

Collective psychosis, also known as mental epidemic, is a phenomenon in which a group of people simultaneously or sequentially experience noticeable disturbances in their mental state. This condition can manifest itself in various forms, including illusions, hallucinations, delusions, and disorientation in space and time. Collective psychosis has its own characteristics that distinguish it from individual mental disorders.

One of the most famous historical mental health epidemics was the "Dancing at Strasbourg" in 1518, when more than 400 people in Strasbourg, France began dancing en masse for no apparent reason. This case is an example of a collective psychotic state that spread throughout the city and caused mass panic and death of some participants due to exhaustion and exhaustion.

There are several factors that can contribute to the onset of collective psychosis. The first factor is the social and psychological dynamics within the group. When one person shows signs of a mental disorder, others may imitate him out of social or psychological circumstances.

The second factor is stressful situations and collective disturbing events. Collective experiences of traumatic events such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks or wars can cause collective psychosis. Fear, helplessness and loss of control can lead to massive similarities in mental symptoms.

The third factor is sociocultural and religious beliefs. Ideas or beliefs that are considered sacred or unshakable within a certain group can lead to collective psychosis if they cause a strong emotional reaction and affect the mental state.
