ojaysam25:Medical Classics In terms of factors that led to the illness Cervantes is clear: because Don Quixote read so many chivalry novels, “his brain dried up and this way he came to lose his sanity,” which he only recovers at the end of his life. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2072031/ |

Yes o, it happened to my senior then in secondary school, he ran mad after reading over night although, he took much of coffee just to stay awake. |

toprealman: It refers to overexposure of cells to oxygen no matter the pressure. The reason your source mentioned "pressures greater than normal atmospheric pressure" was because hyperbaric conditions are often used as a treatment method. Higher pressure is not the only way oxygen can become toxic but it is a common one. Lol are you sure you can afford me? ![]() |

The fact remains that it is not everyone that likes your success, maybe the wicked people have seen his future and decide to destroy him by making him mad. Reading can only help you get better, it's a mental exercise. |

People have that belief even in bible times. A king, could be agrippa or felix in the acts of the apostles told Paul that too much reading had made him mad. |

ojaysam25: Using myself as a case study, I think YES My mom was training to be one of the best students in Nigeria (So as to unlock scholarships opportunities and etc) I was always reading. My schedule for the day was always to wake up, read, eat, read and read and then eat and then read until night time, she'll wake me up at midnight to read again and I'll still read early morning around 5am. It started affecting me My classmates and teachers noticed that I was running mad slowly because I was always playing with my books and pens and I don't usually talk to anyone. I talk and play with my books (Mother brainswashed me into saying my books are my friends and I took it literally) Imagine I was making jokes and laughing with my books, classmates were avoiding me like a plague They later reported me to my mom about my attitude. My mom in turn said it's good lol and that I should keep it up I wasn't the brightest in my class, in fact I started digressing in my academics because I had my own secret issue My mom later eased up on me seeing that her principle wasn't working but I was still not allowed to have friends and I was always busy with my books Above all I'm not still very normal, and I actually grew into not liking to reading much. So Yes too much reading can make one mad One of the reasons why I grew into not liking to read much was because I heard a similar story of a guy who read too much and later ran crazy I diagnosed myself and predicted my future and the rest they say is history 1 Like

ojaysam25: Don't be scared. I know about a lecturer He's always awake every night till dawn reading. This man would switch on his generator switch on the TV(with a active DSTV subscription) , the ceiling fan and be charging his phone and then go sit outside on a plastic chair leaving everything running inside. If he wasn't a lecturer and if I didn't know his worth, I would have concluded that he did money rituals lol My whole point is that you can always set a limit for yourself. Learning is good but too much of everything is bad 1 Like |

Dayoebe: I swear down same for here . Imagine if over reading will cause someone to run mad then that means that about 95% of medical student will be mad by now. Fear fear fear it can kill than anything. Just control your mind and thoughts, I wonder what will ever make u to run mad. 1 Like |

ojaysam25: Ojeysam I sense that it's fear that motivates u most and that is very bad u have to overcome such attitude. To be frank it's people like u that will know they haven't read for an exam coming up the next morning and they will be afraid to dedicate their time to read for long hours in last minute jacking because they are afraid of running mad. If reading makes one run mad then it means Einstein was mad, my grand pa was mad, Newton was mad, Abraham Lincoln was mad, Thomas Jefferson was mad and most professors then will be mad by now. Reading that strengthens the mind is what makes someone mad? 1 Like |

Don't worry ur friend would still be okay. I am like that guy! Like seriously?...yes! In my class every body warned me to stop that i would get mad. But i never believed them and never will! Me and my bestie read up to like 16-18hrs a day. The only difference between me and ur friend is i don't speak grammar. And this was because am a science student. Let me tell u , ur friend might not be mad, but may be u and his relations. Maybe that crazy! I remeberd when i used to solve mathematics in the air everyone will scream MAD MAN STOP IT. Yeah to me a black board and chalk will just appear and i will begin to solve. Trust me every answer i got was correct. And even read in my dream and when i applies it in real life am correct. What am saying can not be mad from reading except he was taking drugs to read. U can check out my blog @ www.teknoteable..com 1 Like |
