Nutrition In Synesthesia

Synesthesia is a psychological phenomenon of perception , the essence of which is that when one sensory organ is aroused, sensations specific to another sensory organ appear.

A clear example of this is "color hearing". The people in whom it manifests are characterized by closely related vision and hearing. This is also the reason why, when they listen to music, visual images appear in their imagination.

Such a condition is defined as normal and not as a mental or psychological illness, as long as there are no overly strange and bizarre forms in a person's mind.

Synesthesia is individual, ie people can "see" the same sounds in different colors and images. Interestingly, most of those suffering from this problem see the letter A in green.

The problem occurs spontaneously and cannot be controlled. The reasons are being established so far. It is known to appear in early childhood or in the womb. It is also possible to disappear in old age, and this is explained by the restructuring of the nervous system. Disappearance after stress is not excluded.

The disease may be inherited or a symptom of a neurological disorder.
