What is the scariest psychological disorder?

 

What is the scariest psychological disorder?

Part(ii)

Delirium of Cotard

An extremely rare and uncommon mental disorder for which there is no further information. The affected person firmly believes that he is dead (either figuratively or literally), he can even feel the putrefaction of the organs or the non-existence of these. He is convinced that he has already died but for some reason he is still on the physical plane.

A face divided between life and death shows the most terrifying face of this disease.

"Alien hand syndrome"

Strange disorder of neurological origin that is distinguished by causing in the person who suffers all kinds of involuntary and uncontrolled movements in one of the hands.

In addition, the movements add to the feeling of strangeness that the person feels with respect to said limb. The patient experiences a personification of the arm and the hand, which make him feel that it has a life of its own.

Those who suffer from it believe that one of their hands operates on its own, and they can do strange and terrifying things due to the lack of control they have over it.

Psycho by wendigo

The Wendigo is a disturbing creature.

 A spirit that has the power to materialize and even possess the body of any human being who thinks certain things ...

He is described as a diabolical being, although no one, except his victims, knows what he really is.

The Wendigo embodies the taboo of cannibalism, a fact that is confirmed by the very peoples from which it originates, who considered that anyone who tasted human flesh, even in circumstances of extreme necessity, sooner or later would become an executioner of the gloomy Wendigo.

This legend was adopted by psychiatry. "Wendigo psychosis" is a very rare diagnosis that combines the disorder of cannibalism with an obsessive urge to eat human flesh, including one's own. This coupled with the fear of becoming a victim of these terrible obsessions.
