Groats Disease has become a trendy disease which is yet to be backed with scientific research. One cannot tell if it’s fictional or real. This article will explore what Groats Disease is, its syndromes and how to treat it. 

What is Groats Disease ?

Groat’s Syndrome, also known as Groat’s Disease, is a neurological disorder, marked by excessive hyperactivity and spasticity. It is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. It is characterized by delayed development, intellectual disability and seizures. One can say that it’s fictitious, it means that it is not yet considered a real disease or disorder. It may be a disorder in the actual sense, but scientists and medical researchers are yet to conduct research and tests to determine if it is a real disorder or not. This fictitious disease is not listed anywhere in medical books.

The term Groat’s disease is generally likened to a person having about five cups of coffee in one seating. The action, as they say, can make someone seem to be too agitated when faced with a certain type of stress. It can also lead someone to make an overstatement about something he should not have even spoken about.

How did the name Groats disease come about?

Groat’s disease, named after a legendary baseball and basketball player Richard Groat, generally became a term of a fictional disease characterized by an image of someone being hyperactive. Signs and symptoms include talking too much or being too nervous and scared,

CAUSES

The underlying causes of groats disease are mainly of two types: neurological and psychological in nature.

The distortion of reality typical of mental disorders of this type would seem to be caused by a lesion or malfunction of two areas of the brain: the fusiform gyrus, which deals with the recognition of familiar faces, and the amygdala which instead deals with processing our emotions. In most cases, people experience these injuries as a result of trauma, such as an accident, illness, or collapse.

As the only plausible explanation of his condition, the patient with groats syndrome can therefore only assume that he is already dead.

Recent studies have highlighted the correlation between groats disease and mood disorders, in particular, it would seem that in many cases this disease occurs as a consequence of a severe form of reactive depression, or a group of researchers has correlated the typical symptoms of this disease with the assumption of some specific drugs for the treatment of herpes simplex, but these are still preliminary studies which need to be followed up further before these theories can be validated.

Is this disease like anxiety disorder?

Many types of anxiety disorders can easily mimic how Groat’s disease. 

Anxiety can present the following symptoms, most of them somehow correlate to the fictional Groat’s disease.

• Feeling uneasy, panicky, or nervous
• Fidgety and agitated
• Having trouble sleeping
• Breathing heavily, short, and fast
• Cold, clammy hands, while sweating profusely Feeling dizzy or nauseous
• Have tense muscles
• Alert, hyperactive, and too hyped up Unable to concentrate

While Groat’s disease symptoms and descriptions can loosely relate to anxiety disorder, doctors can conclude that the objective signs, medical assessment, and diagnosis can very well tell these two apart.

Treatment of Groats Disease

There is no cure for groat syndrome and treatment focuses on managing symptoms.

Some common treatments include medications for seizures and developmental delays, physical therapy, and speech therapy.

In conclusion, stress and anxiety can send you into emotional overdrive. Try relaxation techniques, and talk to a reliable and trustworthy psychologist or medical professional for guidance to properly address your concerns.
