Hello (N), (M), this is Samuel.

We could split this disease into two categories.

The first one being those who are basically tired of life and fall into a ‘living sleep’ where they are waiting to die. It’s the way they cope, so nothing is expected of them.

Because the body does what it’s told, then it reacts to the apathy and acts accordingly by shutting down the organs gradually. The onset of this can happen for a variety of reasons, but always starts earlier in life from unresolved issues, which sometimes happened through no fault of their own.

The sad thing is that not much can be done to help these people as they decide early on to opt out of life. It usually happens to people who feel they are no longer needed.
