Matilda Gosling
From the dancing plagues of medieval Europe to the Pokémon episode that reportedly hospitalised several hundred, social contagion has shaped collective health and hysteria for centuries. Today, platforms like TikTok and YouTube are driving a new wave – from functional tics to dissociative identities – with symptoms that mimic those of others and spread at startling speed.
Drawing on history, neurology, psychology and culture, social scientist Matilda Gosling shows how our brains and bodies absorb the emotional currents around us, and how distress finds new forms of expression in each era. This is a book about why symptoms spread, why some become epidemics, and how we can protect ourselves in an age of mass connectedness.

Ce que les critiques en disent
An elegantly written, fascinating exploration of the way emotions and social meanings can spread like viruses from mind to mind, producing real symptoms of illness in the body. Every health professional or parent should read it to better understand how mental and even physical dysfunction can be transmitted through a screen (Kathleen Stock)
