👉 Disorder math, also known as pathological numerical thinking, is a cognitive disorder where individuals experience significant difficulties with mathematical concepts and operations, despite having no formal education in mathematics. People with this disorder may struggle with basic arithmetic, such as addition and subtraction, and often have a distorted understanding of numbers, quantities, and mathematical relationships. They might also exhibit unusual number-related behaviors, like counting objects in non-standard ways or having an irrational fear of certain numbers (phobias). This disorder can severely impact daily life, affecting tasks from simple budgeting to more complex problem-solving, and often requires specialized therapeutic interventions to manage.
