Definition
Multiple Curiosity Disorder (MCD) - A delightful condition characterized by an individual’s insatiable curiosity across multiple domains, leading to the adoption of various curiosity identities or characters.
Symptoms
*** Character Shifts - Frequently switching between different curiosity personas, such as an amateur astronomer by night and a culinary experimenter by day.
*** Experimental Play - Engaging in various experiments, from scientific investigations to creative arts, often simultaneously.
*** Hypothesis Formulation - Regularly developing new hypotheses and theories about a wide array of topics.
*** Action and Reflection - Actively testing these hypotheses and reflecting on the outcomes, leading to either further action or the pursuit of new curiosities.
*** Constant Renewal - Embracing the cycle of starting anew with each curiosity, never content with a single area of focus.
Example Case
An individual with MCD might have their morning studying the migration patterns of birds, their afternoon building a model rocket, and their evening composing a piece of music inspired by their day’s adventures.
Recommended Treatment
*** Morning pages (min 3.)
*** Walking meditation.
*** The Artist Date: A structured time for reflection and integration of their various curiosities into a coherent narrative or project once a week.
