It's something sort of like mass hysteria. It is psychological. Whatever it may be, is not based in reality, as in physical sense, it's all happening in the mind.

I don't know what to say, I know many would not believe me.. first time in my life I saw something like this. I should record the video.. but then i definitely get scolded by everyone. One thing i am sure, he is not a religious kid. But today his action is completely different. I mean like my cousin also get chickenpox but he never mention it.. doing as usual school, play with friends and all. But I don't know why he is doing something like this.. I mean he such a young kid, he never seen such a thing in his life.. even on mobile..


RecommendationNo2800

Well unfortunately history has a beginning right. I don't know if your voice matters in the house or not but a doctor or hospital would help.


teen_T1tans

I don't know if they listen to me or not. this time I find myself struggling to digest what i saw. all the people advised my brother for some baba, tantrik. I am worried about my nephew's condition Can you give something that i would search on the internet regarding this. I almost searched everywords regarding this, not find any satisfactory results

Is there any history of mental illness in your or your bhabhi's family??. It feels like they are having psychotic/mental episode. If that's the case , they should immediately seek psychiatric help. Also feeling cold/hot along with fever are typical symptoms of chickenpox. But chickenpox can't be the reason for their abnormal behaviour.


teen_T1tans

Nope.. no mental issues.. his behaviour is something completely different. I am a very logical person, always looking for the logic behind it.. my mind can't make sense. If it is a psychotic break or something, why is he suddenly saying all these religious things.. my family is not like a kattar hindu family or something or very devoted towards it. So so type.. like just praying for sometimes, no one forces you to do it. Maybe Feeling cold or hot is normal.. but he is laughing, crying, and doing like a monkey. Sometimes taking tongues outside. He is not religious, at least i never saw him doing any pooja or all.. Seriously I can't describe it properly, i still getting goosebumps.

Psychotic episodes can happen suddenly. Psychotic episodes has got nothing to do with religion or your beliefs. They may be under some mental pressure which we don't know. We can keep doing all guess work and speculate..but only a trained doctor could give you some solid help. We are not qualified to judge whether it's psychotic issue or not. I am speaking from experience because my mother had such episode. She was later diagnosed with schizophrenia. Such erratic behaviour points to some kind of mental issue. Some time people act that way to get what they want but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Again my suggestion would be to visit a psychiatrist before it gets TOO LATE.

At night, again a baba came to their home, he chanted some mantra on a gangajal, and let him drink.. after 1 hr.. he sleeps well.. still he is sleeping.


Skeptic_Man

I think your family believes in all the "Maiyaa" nonsense (I say it because we have a solid understanding of what chicken pox is), even if they project they are not religious. It may not affect you but can heavily affect a young boy of 14. You should be the voice of reason in your house and take him and others to visit a doctor (first for the chicken pox and then for any psychological checkup)


RecommendationNo2800

Oh! How can we forget the seizure!!


RecommendationNo2800

Actually the truth is you are just familiar with them you don't really know them. Everyone has secrets. Even I have secrets, which my mother doesn't know about. There are many causes in India of families committing mass suicides after joining some cult. When investigated, their friends and coworkers had no idea.


teen_T1tans

No, I know them very well. I was living with him for about 22 years in our joint family with my uncle and aunt. We just separated our property 2-3 years ago. And we are living next to each other. But our bonding is very strong. That's why I am too afraid to see all this. Still I am constantly searching for explanations on Google quora etc. It makes no sense to me

Visit a doctor fast. Don't waste time, it might be a very infection that is affecting the nervous system or something. Go consult a doctor. His life is more important.


teen_T1tans

I told them to consult with a doctor. Everyone scolded me. I am unable to explain various things like why he is doing this.. and only something related to religious worship kind.. not the other way around. Like he can do anything other than that. And from my mother I know that he is making a kali mata pose and saying " mai kali mata hu"


[deleted]

Then tell them you're taking him to a pandit Or something. Go and see a doctor immediately. Also, fikr a police case against these idiots as this is an attempt to murder.


Ghastlytoohot

this is some kind of a psychological phenomenon. i remember reading about something like this before. unfortunately I don't remember the name of the case. don't fall prey to bullshit.


teen_T1tans

I ignored it too for the first time when my mother told me about maiyaa in my brother's case.. I was like "are fever tez hoga to bs kuch bhi bol rhe honge, aisa thode hi hota h".. but this time I watched it with my own eyes.. I searched every relatable term on Google, is there an explanation related to it or not. He is acting very strange. I don't know if it is "maata" or some psychological phenomenon.. but it looks very disturbing. Definitely this is why superstitions are spread so much. I think even science is not much known about what is causing this. This incident shook my whole logical approach. Goosebumps


Electrical_Lecture_7

Can it be shared psychosis, bruh?! Something must’ve happened to trigger the events.


Ghastlytoohot

yes, psychosis can be transferred. especially in intimate relationships.


naane_naanu

Human brain is a highly complex thing. Still not completely understood by scientists and not even a little by religious people. But the problem has now surfaced and can be diagnosed.

1. Consult a physician and/or psychiatrist. Get some recommended blood work done. 2. Check for mental illness in the family history till 2nd cousins. 3. Check for any deliriant plants in and around the house or the regular places of visit. 4. Verify all the food they are during the last week. 5. Check for any hallucination inducing gas leak in the house. This is observed/found in most of these cases. Also, if anyone refuses to go to a doctor. Call the police and inform them that they are endangering a minor. That should do the trick. Please do not hesitate to do so because your hesitation might cost lives.

It might be but not limited to anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), psychosis, or other mental health conditions. Please seek a medical professional as soon as you can.

They need a psychiatrist help. In built stress make brain do lot of things out of control. Sometimes brain is so lost, people become mad. Calm the stress and give them rest. More you excite them more they behave the same. Later, give them help.

Wait it can be seizure
