Fancy Food Syndrome

There is a known synrdome that makes you obssessed about classy fancy food

It's the "Gourmand Syndrome"

Gourmand Syndrome is a rare, benign condition that occurs in people who sustain injuries to the right frontal lobe. People who have Gourmand syndrome develop a new, post-injury passion for gourmet food. The syndrome was first described by Regard and Landis in the journal Neurology. It is characterized by a right hemisphere brain lesion and a obsessive focus on eating, thinking, talking, and writing about fine foods. However, it is not associated with an increase in appetite.
The most famous case of gourmand syndrome developed in a Swiss stroke patient. After his release from the hospital he immediately quit his job as a political journalist and took up the profession of food critiquing.


-People who have Gourmand syndrome are preoccupied with fine food, including its purchase, preparation, presentation, and consumption,and are less engaged than previously with friends, family, job, and other activities.
-Thought to be caused by injury to the right side of the brain — tumor, concussion, stroke, etc.
-The syndrome is very rare. It has only 34 reported cases in medical literature
-Some symptoms overlap with obsessive-compulsive and addictive disorders.
-Inspite of their “lusting after food” and enthusiastic consumption of it, people with gourmand syndrome do not seem to become fat,nor do they vomit, abuse laxatives, or engage in other pathological weight-loss behaviors.
-It's been noticed that they've had normal relationships with food before the brain injury.
-Cognitive, behavioral, and motor impairments are common, probably also related to the brain injury.
-People are not particularly troubled by their new consuming interest.
-The treatment of Gourmand syndrome should begin with a neurologist or possibly a psychiatrist.
