Man Addicted To Drinking Human Blood Diagnosis With “Vampirism”




(Daily Mail)  Doctors in Turkey have described a man who became addicted to drinking human blood as having ‘vampirism’.

The 23-year-old married man started slicing his own arms, chest and stomach with razor blades, and gathering the blood in a cup so he could drink it.

He soon became addicted and started turning to other sources to feed his habit which he described as being ‘as urgent as breathing’.

 Doctors said the man got his father to get him bags of blood from blood banks when his own was not enough

He apparently even got his father to get him bags of the bodily fluid from blood banks, according to the report released yesterday by the Journal of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics.

The man, whose name was not revealed in the report, was arrested several times after stabbing and biting others to collect and drink their blood.

He also developed multiple personalities and suffered from amnesia.

The report said: ‘Possibly due to ‘switching’ to another personality state, he was losing track during the ‘bloody’ events, did not care who the victim was anymore and remained amnesic to this part of his act.’

 Medical professionals believed his behaviour was a reaction to horrific events in his life, such as witnessing a killing where ‘one of his friends cut off the victim’s head and penis,’ the researchers said.

He had also been traumatised by the death of his four-month-old daughter, and by the murder of his uncle.

The doctors, led by Direnc Sakarya, of Denizli Military Hospital in southwestern Turkey, diagnosed the man with dissociative identity disorder (DID), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic depression and alcohol abuse.
