Syphilis is a venereal (sexually transmitted) disease. It |
|
has a few stages and involves unpleasant phenomena such |
|
as lesions and skin eruptions. Syphilis can go dormant |
|
(latent) for years or even decades before it affects the |
|
brain in a condition known as general paresis. Brain |
|
tissue is gradually destroyed by the tiny organisms that |
|
cause syphilis, the spirochetes. This progressive |
|
devastation causes mania, dementia, megalomania |
|
(delusions of grandeur), and paranoia. Even when its |
|
existence is suspected, syphilis is difficult to |
|
diagnose. Most mental health clinicians are unlikely to |
|
try to rule it out. Syphilis in its tertiary (brain |
|
consuming) phase produces symptoms that are easily |
|
misdiagnosed as Bipolar Disorder combined with the |
|
Narcissistic and the Paranoid Personality Disorders. |
