What mental illness causes pleasure in the body? There is none. This condition isn't neurological either as shown by the imaging. What could it possibly be when there's no explanation, physical or mental for it?

isn't bipolar disorder more about having feel good mood instead of intense topical bodily pleasure?
--- 15347239
the symptoms are something that hasn't existed before?

epilepsy can cause pleasurable dreamlike sensations before/during the seizure which are typically followed by IRL memory loss

t. epileptic

>>15347262
should it show on eeg scan? can you describe the dreamlike state more?
--- 15347283
>>15347273
It is a type of localized seizure which typically/eventually spread to the majority of the brain or hemisphere and becomes a "typical" seizure.

The best way I describe it to people is a felling of deja vu, as if reliving a happy childhood memory, but nothing in particular -- just nice general feelings as if waking up to a warm sunrise with something fun to look forward to.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/temporal-lobe-seizure/symptoms-causes/syc-20378214 has a pretty okay description imo

They would presumably show up on EEG if a seizure occurred while hooked in and recording? but that's pretty unlikely at least for me. One of the features which distinguishes disabling (as in take-your-drivers-license) seizures as opposed to 'benign' ones, is an EEG which appears normal and clear

>>15347283
if EEG doesn't exclude all the seizures how can neurologist decide that the symptoms aren't a seizure

help. there's no explanation for this pleasure that may come in short impulses/twitches

Are you talking about asmr?
--- 15349335
>>15349316
asmr might be similar sensations
--- 15349372
these symptoms haven't existed for anyone before apparently should bring forth some interest
--- 15350914
anybody has any idea?

This. If there were such a thing, we wouldn't recognize it as mental illness.
Unless it somehow predisposed someone to danger.

Bipolar is more about having depression and ptsd and coping with it poorly
--- 15351028
>>15350923
if it's one of a kind condition how can you categorize it as mental?
>>15351022
was referring more to the pleasurable feelings in its case

What do you mean by mental and by one of a kind?

I guess you should be answering what you mean by mental

Mental illness is traceable to neurological illness. One of a kind neurological illness is a weird expression.
They are rare at best, in which case a physiological dysfunction should be identifiable. I just don't think we would investigate this, unless it causes harm.

>Mental illness is traceable to neurological illness
This is not, in general, true, it's a fallacious assumption that while accurate in certain circumstances such as addiction is naively believed to apply to many other conditions in which no such link can be traced
--- 15352158
>>15352062
what are the ways to indentify a physiological dysfunction? for example for tourette's

Being happy in this inhumane society is sign of mental illness. How can you be happy when every day is just torture and humiliation?

might be but this thread was more about pleasure of the body instead of happiness

>I just don't think we would investigate this
Sounds like a failure on medicine's part
--- 15356963
If we consider there are mental aspects on the symptoms then what could be a cause for pleasure occurring in such a way in a mental illness if mental illnesses in general are claimed to have the opposite condition?
--- 15359459
any ideas?
--- 15359591
>>15356963
Especially this one. How can an opposite symptom to anhedonia happen with a mental illness as bodily pleasure coming in "twitches"? There's no description of such a symptom to have existed
