It was discussed in relation to Annalise Michel's case, suggesting that the symptoms of her illness may have been misdiagnosed as demonic possession in the past.
And then this made me think of this book I recently read called Brain on Fire by Susan Callahan.
She's 24, she's a writer at the New York Post and she starts going fucking crazy.
She comes fixated on the idea that her home was infested with bed bugs.
She like calls a bed bug guy in to like clean out her, like what the fuck?
She's paranoid, irrational, laughing and crying all the time.
Episode: 66 - The Devil's Number
It was discussed as a book that details a rare autoimmune disease, with symptoms similar to those once attributed to demonic possession, which may help explain some of the historical exorcism cases.
And then this made me think of this book I recently read called Brain on Fire by Susan Callahan.
She's 24, she's a writer at the New York Post and she starts going fucking crazy.
She comes fixated on the idea that her home was infested with bed bugs.
She like calls a bed bug guy in to like clean out her, like what the fuck? And he's like, there's no bed bugs in here.
She is eventually finally diagnosed with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, which is caused when the body's immune system goes haywire and attacks a protein in the brain that helps neurons communicate.
