While the full moon was in the air, the woman did strange things, spoke in a different voice and shed tears.
These symptoms, which began without notice, lasted nearly two hours.
According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, a 55-year-old housewife A visited a hospital in Maharashtra, India.
The family said that she acted as if she were possessed by a ghost when the full moon rose, and that she had been helped by alternative medicine for seven years, but to no avail.
Medics performed tests on the liver, kidney, and brain, but they were all normal.
However, a psychiatric evaluation revealed that she had been suffering from depression since adolescence.
In an interview with medical staff, she said she was suffering from depression, despair and social atrophy.
The medical team diagnosed this mental pain as a symptom of one of the mental illnesses, 'TPD (Transference and Possession Disorder)', combined with 'crucial' behavior, and'Dysthymia'.
Mood failure is a form of depression, also called mood failure.
The main symptoms are similar to depression, but more mild, and the symptoms persist for more than two years.
The medical staff prescribed antidepressants to the woman and told her to undergo weekly psychological treatment to improve her symptoms.
The medical staff then explained that the full moon and her symptoms are not related and that it is a disease that can appear at any time.
After several months of treatment, her condition gradually improved, and the number of times she looked like 'ice' decreased.
The treatment case was published in the international journal 『Cureus』.
The patient's symptoms may worsen if medics delay receiving treatment for TPD secondary to the stigma " (mainly observed in rural areas)," he said.
