 | History: | Occurring every year, there seems to be a personality change, mostly endemic. The symptoms are not only seen in children, but rather in all ages.
There seems to be a surrealistic costuming and role-playing with a stereotypical pattern. Sometimes it can be seen in caroling or other changes, which is not in the normal personality.
An aspect of this personality disorder is the urge to overeat; sexuality and territorial behavior is not seen. Often there are severe altruistic overlappings to be seen. | |
