10 Psychological Disorders you won’t believe actually exist

3 Fregoli delusion

This mental disorder is not as deadly as previous two, but it is certainly one of the most interesting.

Fregoli delusion is a condition named after well-known Italian actor Leopoldo Fregoli who was capable of looking like a different person every time he would change his costume, which usually took seconds.

This delusion causes people who suffer from it to think that many different people are actually just one person that keeps changing his appearance. There is a great deal of paranoia even thinking about this, but psychologists suggest that Fregoli delusion is caused by some kind of brain injury or epilepsy. However, it still remains a mystery to this day.

4 Exploding head syndrome

Hearing imaginary voices and sounds is one thing, but exploding head syndrome takes is to the whole another level of distress. Explosions, gun shots, screaming while seeing flashing lights along the way are just some of the sounds people who suffer from this syndrome hear and experience.

To make matters even worse the condition appears as they go to sleep. So imagine the damaging consequences this psychological disorder might cause.

5 Foreign Accent Syndrome

This mental disorder has perplexed psychologists ever since it was first discovered in the 1940s. It makes people speak the same language with a different accent. And that is due to some sort of stroke or head injury.

However interesting may it sound, people who suffer from this condition are not amused at all. They often report that every time they experience something like this, it seems like they’ve lost a piece of their identity.
