{{nihongo|'''Hinamizawa Syndrome'''|雛見沢症候群|Hinamizawa Shōkōgun|HS}} is a psychiatric disease found exclusively in citizens of [[Hinamizawa]]. The most common symptoms include anxiety and paranoia, which can force people with Hinamizawa Syndrome to commit strange and violent acts. Other symptoms include an extreme irritation of the [[Wikipedia:Lymph node|lymph nodes]] and [[Wikipedia:Formication|formication]]. The disease is similar to [[w:Delusional parasitosis|delusional parasitosis]].
== History ==
Hinamizawa Syndrome was first discovered by [[Hifumi Takano]]. Takano wrote a report regarding the history of [[Hinamizawa]] and the supposed disease plaguing its residents. Takano's goal was to make the disease public knowledge and to secure funds for researching its treatment. Part of Takano's report proposed that a member of the [[Wikipedia:Imperial Japanese Army|Imperial Japanese Army]], one from Hinamizawa, was afflicted with HS. As a result of the worsening disease, this soldier fired at the [[Wikipedia:Republic of China (1912–49)|Chinese]] [[Wikipedia:National Revolutionary Army|National Revolutionary Army]], triggering the [[Wikipedia:Second Sino-Japanese War|Second Sino-Japanese War]]. Several government officials rejected Takano's report

In the non-canon ''[[Hinamizawa Bus Stop]]'', Hinamizawa Syndrome is caused by an ant-like parasite called Hinamizawaari. The parasite resides in the brain of virtually every resident of [[Hinamizawa]]. A "parent insect" is found within the brain of [[Rika Furude]]. If any Hinamizawaari is too far away from the "parent insect" (e.g. leaving the village), then the parasite will aggravate the syndrome, causing violent and paranoid outbursts.

== Treatment ==
The first treatment for HS, '''C-103''', was created in 1980 by [[Kyousuke Irie]]. Developed from an antibody in [[Rika Furude|Rika Furude's]] blood, the drug was successful in reducing HS from L5 to L3. However, in order to keep HS subdued, the drug has be received three times a day through injections. If the drug isn't taken three times a day, HS will relapse to L5.▼

However, in order to keep HS subdued, the drug has be received three times a day through injections. If the drug isn't taken three times a day, HS will relapse to L5.
In 1982, Irie developed '''C-117''', a more effective drug for treating HS. Like it's predecessor, C-117 successfully reduced L5 HS, though it only required two injections per day, rather than three.
In 1983, Irie completed '''C-120'''. The most successful drug by far, C-120 can reduce HS from L5 to L2 with a single injection. However, C-120 has extremely negative side effects when used on individuals who are already at low levels of HS such as L1 or L2. When L1 or L2 individuals are injected with C-120, they can suffer muscle spasms, extreme irritation of the [[Wikipedia:Lymph node|lymph nodes]] akin to L5, as well as a severe loss of stamina. As a result of these side effects, C-120 is sometimes used as a weapon and was given the nickname '''Crazy Medicine'''.
