An example that clearly shows 'hypergraphia' that writes sentences as if obsessed



While there are people in the world who hate or are not good at writing, there are also people who like writing and are good at it, but this is just a story within the framework of their strengths and weaknesses. Apart from these things, there is a symptom of 'hypergraphia' that you write as if you explode the impulse that occurs from the inside of your body because you feel uncomfortable unless you write a sentence anyway. A person with a mother who suffers from schizophrenia and develops hypergraphia can get a glimpse of what the symptoms are by publishing a large number of memos written by her mother.

The symptoms and causes of hypergraphia are described in detail in the book ' The Science of Brain Language and Creativity ' by Alice W. Flaherty , a doctor who is also a hypergraphia. ..

Brain Language and the Science of Creativity: Alice W. Flaherty, Kenichiro Mogi, Toshiko Yoshida: Books



According to 'The Brain Language and the Science of Creativity', the characteristics of hypergraphia are ' write a lot of sentences compared to people of the same age ' and ' write by internal impulses rather than external influences '. 'The written text has philosophical, religious, and autobiographical meanings for the person who wrote it.' 'It has meaning for the person who wrote it, and the text does not have to be excellent .' In other words, the sentences written by humans in Hypergraphia have an unusually large number of characters, and even if they are meaningless to others, they have some meaning to them. You can see this feature well in the image below published by Tommygun27, who has a hypergraphia mother.

Tommygun27 says he has been taking care of his mother for 17 years since he was 12 years old. At first glance, the memo that the mother hit is a messy note, but the size of the paper on which it is written is 750 x 450 mm (larger than A2 and one size smaller than A1), and how much it is. You can see if the characters are written.



This is a memo written when the mother's condition is particularly bad. It is unreadable what is written by overwriting the letters on top of the letters.



Most of the content written by the mother is about conspiracy. The mother believes that the memo she wrote will save the world.



The mother saves all the numerous notes she wrote down.



However, it is not possible to keep all the notes, and Tommygun27 regularly throws away the notes without telling his mother. The memo is a sacred thing for the mother, and it will be a big fuss if it is revealed that it is thrown away.



This is a thing written on a day when the mental state is calm, and the mental state is also transmitted from the letters.



However, on days when you are in a bad mental state, you can write on a large piece of paper.



When you see the large size paper filled with small letters, it seems that you can feel the devilishness.



'Even sentences that don't make sense to others are important to the mother' fits perfectly with the hypergraphia features defined in 'The Science of Brain Language and Creativity That Wants to Write.'



The nine-month memo written by the mother is about 110 notebooks and has about 22,000 pages.



While hypergraphia is seen as a symptom of mental illness, Fraherty, author of The Science of Brain Language and Creativity Who Wants to Write, describes the genuine enjoyment of the creative activity of writing as an illness. I am asking questions in the book as to whether or not it is a squid. Hypergraphia, as there were artists who embodied 'genius and madness are a single piece of paper,' such as Vincent van Gogh, who caused the incident that cut his ears, and Salvador Dali, who has numerous eccentric episodes. It may be careless to deny the possibility of creative activity that he has as an illness.
