Something tells me that sheep are very tricky to deal with.

Very >w<

Beep beep
I'm a sheep.

Some of these Sheep are under the mistaken impression that they are Birds.

That one over there is Harold, he is the ringleader. He is that most disturbing of natures creations, the clever Sheep.

Ah, yes! The Flying Circus! XD Classic

Glad to hear that you are a fellow person of culture my dear. :)

I like this idea where cursed transformed/transforming humans are given rehab to try to stave off the effects of the mind's regression into the animal's mind completely, but it doesn't always work, or even most of the time, and the psychiatrists are mostly trying to do what they can while patients become feral and finish transforming mentally. I imagine they administer cognitive and IQ tests too and they sometimes yield disappointing results. Occasionally there is a success story where the individual manages to revert back to being human again and reverse the curse. But sometimes it seems to be going well only for them to slip into think they are the animal and the more that line of thinking continues, the more they start to think like the animal. Once they lose language, they have slipped past the point of no return as the psychiatrist can no longer reach them to keep them from the descent into the being the animal fully.

Thank you! Actually, the way you've fleshed this out is very similar to how I was imagining things would progress. Though the nature of the curse and intent of the caster would have some bearing on the end result as well. I'm very pleased that you like the premise!

yee should definitely be explored more, I also think it would work well in visual and literary mediums

Happily I'm slated for several more commissions in the same vein. Hopefully I'll have a chance to play with these ideas a bit further.

This is a legitimate problem in psychology.

I'd heard of boanthropy, but a delusion that one is a sheep is new to me. I wonder what causes it

Aw . . .
I was actually hoping you'd comment that I was talking about how patients will tell doctors what they think the doctors want to hear, then I could make a joke that I was really talking about turning into sheep. Oh, well.

I'd never heard of boanthropy. Now that I know this thing exists, I am fascinated.

XD Sorry to disrupt the plans. Guess I'm not much of a sheep, myself.

Isn't it interesting? It's such a strangely specific delusion.

Yes, it is.
