There is illness, forcing constantly joking and punning

At first glance, it's fun. A patient with a neurological disorder called German witzelsucht - a godsend for a boring company! He laughs, effervescent jokes, irony, puns, plays on words, and ... all that goes on forever.

This disorder is associated with damage to the orbitofrontal area on the right side of the brain. Orbitofrontal region is responsible for personality and behavior: injure her left - and get irritable, moody and depressive character. Damage to the right will give the public the "soul of the company" - a person is constantly in a good mood, cheerful and fun.

But, unfortunately, witzelsucht delivers more trouble than joy, particularly around. 56-year-old man received this disorder as a result of suffering a stroke.

57-year-old woman after a brain injury has decided to change his life: every day throwing a party in which inappropriate joking on the subject of personal hygiene. Soon the guests stopped coming to her.

But about this man we have already mentioned. Agree, a special joy from such a joyful husband (excuse the pun) on the face of the hostess can not be read.

Among other things, witzelsucht deprives the patient of the ability to perceive a strange sense of humor. On the comedy films he sits with a straight face and waits, when the movie is finished to a good joke on him about.

Witzelsucht can not be cured by modern medicine. We can only alleviate the condition by using behavioral therapy or drugs, mood stabilizers.
