| Renfields Syndrome Author: LadyBlak | Some attention has been given to a condition named Renfields Syndrome in psychological literature, based on the fly-eating character Renfield in Bram Stokers Dracula. Renfields Syndrome is described as having four stages: a trauma or critical incident in childhood in which the patient discovers that the taste and sight of blood is exciting or attractive; autovampirism, the drinking of ones own blood (autohemophagia); zoophagia, or the consumption of blood from animals; and finally true vampirism, in which the patient must have human blood, and may resort to stealing blood from medical facilities, or serial murder. -- Vyrdolak. (Apologies to Vyrdolak, whose site is the only site I could find with any information regarding this.) So far as I know, this is not an officially recognized mental disorder. |
