Zack’s Problem: Neglect Syndrome

Apparently I have neglected to tell you of my new syndrome.

In Neglect Syndrome, a person loses the ability to give equal attention to
both sides of a space.

For example, a patient in a rehabilitation hospital may wake up in the
morning and proceeds to shave his face - only to be told later that he has
only shaved half of his face. A person with this disorder, when drawing a
person, will often leave off the arm and leg from one side, and when
questioned, will state that it looks perfectly fine to them.

When drawing a clock, the sufferer will often draw a circle and stuff all of
the numbers in to one side (as in the image above). Neglect Syndrome is most
often caused by damage to one hemisphere of the brain, as in the case of a
stroke.
