From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Love sickness is a non-medical term used to describe mental and physical symptoms associated with falling in love.

Historically, love sickness has been viewed as a short-lived mental illness brought on by the intense changes associated with love. Universally acknowledged polymath Avicenna, a Persian, viewed obsession as the principal symptom and cause of love sickness. This diagnosis has been out of favor since the humoral model has been abandoned, and since the advent of modern scientific psychiatry.

Symptoms of Love Sickness
A 2005 article by Frank Tallis suggested love sickness be taken more seriously by professionals.

Some of the symptom clusters shared with love sickness include:

mania or hypomania – abnormally elevated mood, inflated self esteem, extravagant gift giving
depression – tearfulness, insomnia, loss of concentration
stress - high blood pressure, pain in chest and heart, acute insomnia; sometimes brought on by a "Crush"
obsessive-compulsive disorder – preoccupation and hoarding valueless but superstitiously resonant items
psychologically created physical symptoms, such as upset stomach, change in appetite, insomnia, dizziness, and confusion.
