There’s a label attached to any psychological problem in Pakistan; that of a “pagal”. There’s a need to understand that mental health is on a spectrum; that even supposedly menial issues like anxiety, or difficulty with social interaction, can also be psychological problems.
Here’s a list of psychological disorders that people don’t usually pay too much attention to. You might as well have one of them!
1. Misophonia
It’s the condition of being angered by specific sounds. Have you ever felt frustrated and angered by the sound of someone else chewing? Yep, you may just be there. People suffering from misophonia have an increased sensitivity to certain noises, and may feel negative emotions when they hear these noises.
Alarm bells, anyone? (No pun intended)

2. Aboulomania

Do I do this? Or this?
Sounds familiar?

3. Caffeine Induced Anxiety Disorder
If perpetual anxiety has become routine, time to reassess your tea and coffee intake. Caffeine is believed to induce anxiety, and as a nation, we binge on tea and coffee. That essentially means that most of us are experiencing high levels of anxiety at any given time!

4. Erotomania
Harboring the delusion that someone is in love with you.
Let that sink in.
On a more serious note though, its often someone with a higher status, and can even be a celebrity.
So the next time you imagine ending up with Jennifer Lawrence or David Beckham, think again.
