Metaphysical Awareness Disorder (Episode)

Metaphysical Awareness Disorder was the fourth video of The Mandela Catalogue Act 1 until this episode has been de-canonized. It gives information regarding the titular disorder. This episode has been de-canonized because this episode was used with the restored version of Vol. 1.
== Summary ==
Metaphysical Awareness Disorder, otherwise known as M.A.D is a psychological/mental illness brought upon by Alternates giving humans verbal information that is not desired to be known by them. After being given this information, the main symptoms of this disorder manifest, which consist of:
* Going insane, or hence mad
* Extreme desire to kill yourself/commit suicide
* Becoming delusional & paranoid
There has been a 95% increase of diagnosis of this disorder in the 3rd quarter of 1992, the current year of Volume 1. The death rate of M.A.D victims is currently 97%, 100% of these deaths by suicide. However, the remaining 3% of the M.A.D victims proves the effectiveness of the delusion reversal.
To avoid the development of M.A.D, one needs to:
* Avoid excessively frequent religious practices
* Avoid unnecessary beliefs in philosophical implications
* Avoid opening their eyes when they are certain that the "man in the corner" is now inches away from their face. Watching.
== Transcript ==
Metaphysical Awareness Disorder is a fatal mental illness that has been making a certain return in recent months.
M.A.D is a result of exposure to verbal information that is not desired to be known. The rate of death by suicides patients diagnosed with M.A.D is 97%. But don't worry, the remaining 3% makes it worth trying to reverse the delusion.
Avoiding the root causes of Metaphysical Awareness Disorder development is the first step to being safe. First. Avoid excessively frequent religious practices. Avoid unnecessary beliefs in philosophical implications. Last but not least, looking after your loved ones is a key factor for maintaining mental stability.
== Speculation ==
Metaphysical Awareness Disorder may have the side effect of changing the victim’s personality. This is possibly evidenced by Evelin’s quote (about Adam); “he used to be such a nice guy before he started doing those investigations with Jonah.”
As the name would imply M.A.D. appears to have something to do with the nature of existence within the universe. So far many theories believe that the information in M.A.D. is the knowledge of Gabriel and his actions.

== Trivia ==
* If one does want to know more about the information they are given, they are not affected psychologically.
* Metaphysical Awareness Disorder was originally a teaser video for The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 2, with the bit of text at the end about the man in corner alluding to The Preacher jumpscare.
* Adam Murray and Thatcher Davis are part of the 3% who don't commit suicide after having M.A.D. However, in Adam's case, this could be because he is an alternate. His stability rapidly declines after 6 talks to him, causing him to attempt suicide, but the attempt was unsuccessful. And for Thatcher's part, it's unknown at this time why he was able to survive his encounter with the TMRA.
* This Metaphysical Awareness Disorder episode has been de-canonized because this episode was used with the restored version of Vol. 1.
* In the description, Jack Williamson is seen interviewing with Jude Murray about the latter's recent dream.
