Disorders in Hawethornes "The Birthmark"

The story of Nathaniel Hawthorne "The Birthmark" has some pretty common diseases. Psychology does not exist yet, but Hawthorne is very descriptive about them. Alymer suffers from obsessive personality disorder, and his behavior makes Georgiana suffer from physical malformations. Both are due to the final demise of Georgiana. Alymer is an older scientist marrying a beautiful woman younger than herself. Alymer noticed that his young bride is a beauty, but he still told her that she was "marked." Georgiana's left cheek is a birthmark.

Sturge-Weber syndrome - A neurological symptom accompanied by bouts at birth, with a large wine stain on the forehead and an eyelid on one side of the face. The color of the birth mark ranges from light pink to dark purple, caused by excessive capillaries around the trigeminal nerve below the face's face. Stage-Weber syndrome is also on the same side as the birth point, accompanied by loss of neuronal cells and tissue calcification in the cerebral cortex. Symptoms of the nervous system include seizures beginning in infancy and may deteriorate with age. Convulsions usually occur on the opposite side of the birth mark on the other side of the body, and the severity varies. There may be muscle weakness on the same side. Some children have stunting and mental retardation; most people develop glaucoma (elevated intraocular pressure) at birth or later. Sturge-Weber syndrome seldom affects other organs of the body
