Romance isn’t always rosy, sometimes it’s sickening – lovesickness, erotomania and death by heartbreak explained

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 13, 2024

All you need is love.

Key Points: 
  • All you need is love.
  • It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
  • But is love all pink hearts, roses and teddy bears – or is there a darker side?

Pathological Love

  • Love can hurt.
  • Ian McEwan framed a pathological form of affection, leading to obsession in his 1997 novel “Enduring Love”.
  • They appear even in the words of Hippocrates, described as a form of unrequited love.
  • The condition has seen a renaissance, over the past three centuries, shifting from unanswered love to sex addiction, to its current standing of delusions of love.

I love Paris in the springtime

  • Love, or perceptions of love for material objects or places rather than individuals might also be enough to trigger psychiatric illness.
  • Stendhal was not a psychiatrist, but a writer, who found himself overcome by the beauty of Florence when travelling there in 1817.
  • For others, unfortunately not – leading to a condition known as Paris Syndrome.

Too many broken hearts in the world

  • The term broken heart syndrome applies to a genuine cardiac condition – Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
  • The underlying cause of broken heart syndrome?
  • The raised levels of adrenaline have been proposed as an underlying cause of broken heart syndrome – a link between heart and mind – though more research is required to tell for sure.

They give clues about who we are, and how healthy we are.

Key Points: 
  • They give clues about who we are, and how healthy we are.
  • Since ancient Greek times, we’ve known that we smell differently when we are unwell.
  • While we rely on blood analysis today, ancient Greek physicians used smell to diagnose maladies.
  • This discovery has led to research programmes involving Joy Milner to identify the precise smell of this disease.

Where do VOCs come from?

  • Sweating produces extra nutrients for these bacteria to metabolise which can result in particularly odorous VOCs.
  • Odour from sweat only makes up a fraction of the scents from VOCs though.
  • Scientists think skin VOCs can offer insights into how the microbiome’s bacteria and the human body work together to maintain our health and protect us from disease.
  • We use mass spectrometry to see this as the average human nose is not sophisticated enough to detect these VOCs.

What has science shown about love pheromones?

  • Mice for example have microbes which contribute to a particularly smelly compound called trimethylamine, which allows mice to verify the species of a potential mate.
  • Scientists have yet to fully decode skin – or other VOCs that are released from our bodies.
  • But evidence for human love pheromones so far is controversial at best.
