| - English disease is an entirely psychiatric disease – there may be little or no outward manifestation, depending on the severity of the disease. Symptoms include, but are not limited to:
* Superiority complex and Inferiority complex - the English disease patient's mind is torn by these two conflicting symptoms. English disease instills a deep sense of national pride, and a belief that England is easily the best country in the world; however, it also creates a huge feeling of personal inadequacy in the sufferer. This explains how, while some English Patients can be introverted, with a tendency for great understatement, others can be loud, charismatic and domineering.
* Egomania and delusions of grandeur - these symptoms can sometimes be explained by the superiority complex, but in other cases, they are completely inexplicable. In some cases, an English Patient can develop both an inferiority complex and egomania, leading to great internal conflicts: these English Patients are innately aware and overwhelmingly proud of all of their strengths and achievements, but are reluctant to tell others about them. This leads to a decidedly strange personality.
* Natiokleptomania – as mentioned before, natiokleptomania is a strong, often overpowering desire to steal other people’s countries. This symptom of the disease is rare nowadays, but was very prevalent as little as a hundred years ago. Natiokleptomaniacs are often unaware that they are doing anything wrong - they just have a highly skewed perception of the world's borders.
* Xenophobia - due to their superiority complex and their natiokleptomania, English Patients look upon inhabitants of any other country with great disdain. Sufferers may have any or all of these symptoms, and any variety of others.
