Alice in wonderland syndrome, otherwise known as AIWS is a disorienting condition that affects one's perception. Alice in Wonderland Syndrome patients have complained about visual, auditory and hallucinations. The AIWS began in 1865 from Lewis Caroll. Lewis Caroll suffered from this disorder, which made him write Alice's Adventure In Wonderland. This syndrome is feared by most people, mainly because they will feel like they're going into a weird world full of hallucinations. AIWS can be caused by micropsia, close to the symptom, dysmetropsia.
Most AIWS reports are from children experiencing it, but most people do experience it sometime later in life. But children will soon grow out of this disorder in their teens. We might not notice, but researchers have found that most humans experience AIWS at night. Their vision is blurry, and they can't focus. AIWS has something to do with migraines and brain tumors.
AIWS can get pretty serious if there's no help. Why? AIWS is something that can mess up your brain. You see things vertically, and you always feel like you're in a small, trapped room with no windows, no lights and no air. Panic attacks are most likely to happen, and it's very frightening. How are we supposed to know if we actually have AIWS? The signs are : lack of vision, touch and hearing. And if we are experiencing any of these things, talk to a doctor and get medication. Stress, depression and lack of sleep can also cause AIWS to happen. there is no cure for this disorder.
I'm sorry to say, but this is not a good description AIWS:
ReplyDelete- AIWS did not "begin" in 1865. Supposedly many others have had it before Lewis Carroll wrote the book that gave the syndrome its name.
- AIWS is not "caused by micropsia". Micropsia (perceiving things smaller than they are) is one of its symptoms.
- "Most AIWS reports are from children experiencing it, but most people do experience it sometime later in life" <- that's contradictory
- AIWS CAN be caused by migraines and brain tumors, but that is by no means always so
- "You see things vertically, and you always feel like you're in a small, trapped room with no windows, no lights and no air" - really, I have never felt "as if I am in a small, trapped room" - (what is a "trapped room" anyhow?) - "with no windows, lights and no air". It was pretty weird, but not like that.
- "The signs are : lack of vision, touch and hearing" - this is just not true.
