witzelsucht การใช้
- Two other components related to the frontal lobes contribute to the social behavior of a witzelsucht patient.
- Witzelsucht is considered a disorder of mirth or humor, which is distinct from disorders of laughter.
- Patients with witzelsucht are essentially insensitive to humor, but are capable of producing it while other patients excessively laugh, often at things that are not funny.
- Additionally, this inability to remember past experiences could also cause a person to forget what is socially appropriate; which could explain why witzelsucht patients sometimes say hypersexual comments in public.
- The accumulation of medical case studies on behavioural changes following damage to the frontal lobes led to the formulation of the concept of " Witzelsucht ", which designated a neurological condition characterised by a certain hilarity and childishness in the afflicted.
