Nanggaling ang clip na ito sa isang series titled "Legion" (fx series)
You've heard of the placebo effect.
But are you aware... of the nocebo effect? In which the human body has a negative physical reaction
to a suggested harm.
Your mind has the power to create
its own physical reality. This will make you vomit.
Why do we yawn when we see others yawn?
Throughout history, there have been incidents.
• The Dancing Plague of 1518
• The Tanganyika laughter epidemic
• The Hindu milk miracle.
Some believe they're a response to stress.
Psychologists call it a conversion disorder. In that the body converts
a mental stress.....to a set of physical symptoms.
In this case, a tic, or spasm. And, like any disorder, it can be contagious. This kind of collective behavior is not limited to human beings. What we know is that, in certain communities, under specific circumstances, an involuntary physical symptom developed by one person.....can become viral. And spread, from person.....to person.....to person....until the entire community is infected.
And so, my question to you is,
if the idea of illness can become illness, what else about our reality
is actually a disorder?
