In this video we are going to explore the most dangerous of all psychic epidemics, the mass psychosis. A mass psychosis is an epidemic of madness and it occurs when a large portion of a society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions. Such a phenomenon is not a thing of fiction. Two examples of mass psychoses are the American and European witch hunts 16th and 17th centuries and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century.

This video will aim to answer questions surrounding mass psychosis: What is it? How does is start? Has it happened before? Are we experiencing one right now? And if so, how can the stages of a mass psychosis be reversed?

Re: Mass Psychosis

Excellent video, thanks so much for sharing! I have my undergrad degree in psychology so I'm always so fascinated by videos/articles/etc on human behavior. This video was very informative.

There are a good dozen on this board who suffer from this.

LOL at “cat face.” Not being facetious, I just literally LOL at the association between avatars and people.

This was interesting. I can see everyone pointing fingers at each “side.”
