From a new article in the New England Journal of Medicine entitled “Organized Sports and Mental Health”.
>”Perhaps strangest of all was the direct link discovered between schizophrenia and professional wrestling. Between 2005 and 2015 more than 2,000 patients suffering from schizophrenia were asked to complete a survey of their hobbies and interests. A shocking 90% were fans of the WWE and nearly 50% considered themselves “huge fans” of the company.”
>”Researchers also followed one particular patient, who described himself as a member of the “WWE Universe” and spent the majority of his free time discussing the sport. Throughout the entire course of the study he remained a steadfast fan, even creating multiple social media accounts to support the company. However, as we increased the dosage on his medication and the effects of schizophrenia began to wane, his interest levels dropped. Decreasing medication caused another increase in fandom, including usage of the word “we” when discussing the company. The subject did not work for the WWE in any capacity.
