A few patients with pseudocyesis even test positive on pregnancy tests, said Dr. Paul Paulman, a family practitioner at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
“Every sign and symptom of pregnancy has been recorded in these patients except for three: You don’t hear heart tones from the fetus, you don’t see the fetus on ultrasound, and you don’t get a delivery,” Dr. Paulman said.

//////////////////////////WIKI-Qualia is a term used in philosophy to refer to individual instances of subjective, conscious experience. The term derives from a Latin word meaning for "what sort" or "what kind." Examples of qualia are the pain of a headache, the taste of wine, the experience of taking a recreational drug, or the perceived redness of an evening sky. Daniel Dennett writes that qualia is "an unfamiliar term for something that could not be more familiar to each of us: the ways things seem to us."[1] Erwin Schrödinger, the famous physicist, had this counter-materialist take: "The sensation of colour cannot be accounted for by the physicist's objective picture of light-waves. Could the physiologist account for it, if he had fuller knowledge than he has of the processes in the retina and the nervous processes set up by them in the optical nerve bundles and in the brain? I do not think so.

Akinetic mutism is a medical term describing patients tending neither to move (akinesia) nor speak (mutism). It is the result of severe frontal lobe injury in which the pattern of inhibitory control is one of increasing passivity and gradually decreasing speech and motion.
An example of a cause of this disorder is an olfactory groove meningioma. It is also seen in the final stages of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (a rare degenerative brain disease), and in acute cases of encephalitis lethargica. It can also occur in a stroke that affects both anterior cerebral artery territories. Another cause is neurotoxicity due to drugs such as Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine.
Another cause of both akinesia and mutism is ablation of the cingulate gyrus. Destruction of the cingulate gyrus has been used in the treatment of psychosis. Such lesions result in akinesia, mutism, apathy, and indifference to painful stimuli.[1] The Anterior cingulate cortex is thought to supply a "global energizing factor" that stimulates decision making.[2] When the Anterior cingulate cortex is damaged it will create akinetic mutism.WIKI

Stressed people fall into
habits and their behaviour is not goal-directed. That the
neurotransmitter norepinephrine plays a decisive role here is now
reported in the Journal of Neuroscience by scientists from Bochum led by
Dr. Lars Schwabe (RUB Faculty of Psychology). If the effect of
norepinephrine is stopped by beta blockers, the stress effect does not
occur. "The results may be important for addictive behaviours, where
stress is a key risk factor" said Schwabe. "They are characterised by
ingrained routines and habits."
