A strange disease called Bonthropy has come to notice in which the patient starts living as if he is singing. He starts walking on his hands and feet and starts grazing wherever he finds grass. He does not like plain food, if you give him silage and grass, he starts eating it immediately. He starts humming when he goes to a herd of cows. His body becomes weak due to lack of nutritious food. When he becomes a victim of malnutrition, he starts insisting on being taken to the slaughterhouse. He stops talking completely.
There are more than 100 patients of this disease across the world.
Experts believe that this centuries-old disease was rare but its cases have increased in recent times. If this disorder is so severe, then the person remains a cow throughout his life despite being a human. Bonanthropy is considered one of the most dangerous diseases in the world.
This is also called Self Identity Disorder. There are more than 100 patients of this disease all over the world. When a person vomits directly, he is called an animal, but in this disease the patient starts saying that he is not a human being but an animal.
In ancient times, the disease was viewed from a religious and witchcraft perspective. Nebuchadnezzar, king of New Babylon from 605 to 562 BC, was exiled because of the disease. It is believed that the deposed king lived on grass. According to Persian tradition, Prince Majal al-Dawla himself suffered from delusions of being a cow. This psychological disorder forces a human being to react like an animal.
There is no other solution than psychotherapy
Even though he behaves like a cow, he does not realize why he does so. The great psychologist Sigmund Freud said that many mental illnesses begin with delusions that arise in dreams. Dreams can also play an important role in this disease. Boanthropy can be an additional psychological aspect of diseases such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. There is no cure, but psychotherapy can be used to get rid of the delusion that it is not cow.
