Great article. I have never looked to much into disorders like that and always thought that hearing voices that tell you to "kill yourself" is more of a popular myth. I though that one would usually hear just random things. Thank you for dispelling this for me. The guy also shows what it really means to overcome difficulties.
HN related, the brain is a very complex "computer" with its own bugs.
- blueben 17y agoA number of neurological conditions such as Tourette's, Schizophrenia, and their friends seem to gravitate towards (and feedback on) inappropriate commentary and action. It's probably related to malfunctioning disinhibitionary mechanisms in the brain. The more you don't want to do them and the more inappropriate you know they are, the more frequently they occur and the stronger the urges become. Ever see a disturbing image or hear a highly inappropriate joke or comment and then try to put it out of your mind, only to find that the harder you try to ignore it, the harder it becomes to ignore? The experience is similar.
