The Diagnosis of LOVE

Below are symptoms to diagnose a person being in love:
  • Having a prolonged euphoric mood and smiling to self throughout the day
  • Sudden ability to understand love songs in languages never before learnt/heard of
  • Accelerated heart rate at  at the sound of the person's name
  • Palpitation is noticed seconds before meeting the person
  • Recurrent and persistent thoughts about the person whenever apart
  • Hallucination about the person being next to you all the time
  • Uneasy feeling and having the urge to be hypervigilant at the absence of the person
  • Sleep is willingly sacrificed just so more time can be spent together
  • Hearing the other person's voice becomes compulsory before sleep each day
  • Weight gain/loss is noticed
  • Symptoms are not due to direct effects of a substance or general medical condition 
Having only the fuzzy feelings without the physiological effects do not qualify one to be diagnosed as being in love. All symptoms including physiological and psychological must be present and felt for at least a continuous 24 hours before such diagnosis can be confirmed.
