The Stupidity Blurting Out Of My Mouth Syndrome.

Recent research suggests that the influence of 'Homer Simpson'  has been steadily on the rise in the past decade or to be more precise since a large number of masses have had access to internet. Scientists are still figuring out the various manifestations of this syndrome in the afflicted, hence the area is quite ripe for research studies.

Definition:

"The-Homer-Simpson-Blurting-Out-Of-My-Syndrome" is defined as a syndrome where an individual is deserted by his/her brain in an attempt to be saved from perpetual mental rape. It is replaced by a pseudo-brain that gives the individual indomitable feeling of self-importance, intelligence and eloquence which is annoying at best. It is to be emphasized that intelligence here is far from reality. The brain has a record of giving dubious advice, sometimes helping to make the right decisions, but often failed spectacularly. Conversation with brain has been found as a major symptom of (HSBOOMMS).

Epidemiology:

1. 1 in 50 people suffer from this syndrome.
2. It affects both men and women, equally.
3. It is more common in the ages of 18-35.
4. The prevalence of complications is around 2%.
5. Mortality rate is 0.01%.

Causative agents:

1. Idiopathic.
2. Slave to various appetites.
3. Mental stimulation.
4. Exposure to the Homer Simpson sitcom.
5. Family history of "Simpson Gene".
6. Informal swellhead.

Signs/Symptoms:

1. Verbosity and Loquaciousness; the patient is prone to attacks of verbal diarrhea which is beyond the understanding of a common man.
2. Despite profound and serious verbal diarrhea, the patient will not make any sense. It will seem like they are babbling.
3. The patient will have a constipated look on the face in an attempt to look reasonable and intelligent while spewing poop out of the mouth.
4. The patient has a remarkable memory for big shots like "Albert Einstein,Madam Marie Curie and the likes .
5. These patients are always in a state of denial about their condition.
6. These patients may have alcohol problem, exposure to radioactive waste, repetitive cranial trauma.
7. They can sometimes string together words and call it “creative writing”.

Investigations:

1. Brain Stimulation Test: The test result will show the absence of grey matter but the presence of  fibrosed and opaque areas simulating as a brain. 
2. Culture Verbal Contents: This will confirm the patient’s verbosity and ridiculousness.

Treatment:

1. Counsel the patient: The patient needs to realize that this is a brain disorder and the first stage to recovery after all is acceptance. The patient needs to be be counselled properly.
2. Tranquilizers: Though, sometimes, counselling is the only treatment that is required, severe cases of the syndrome need medication as well. 
3. Surgery: If medical treatment fails, surgery can be done. The surgical techniques revolve around puncturing the patient’s carotid artery. It only takes a few seconds and no sterilization is required.  Or a simple Brain transplant surgery.  Both surgery has shown a remarkable success rate.

Complications:

1. Extreme paranoia
2. Narcissistic Personality Disorder
3. Conversion Disorder.
