ABSOLUTE ZENITH COMPLEX DISORDER (AZC)

Historical Data
World history has provided us with considerable information concerning how leadership in diverse societies was constituted in the Ancients times and Modern times. The chief advisors, who did their best to counsel the prime leader concerning how he should dispense his power, always surrounded a leader of the people. In some societies, the power of the leader was channelled to the people through the belief in a supernatural figure, who became a source of power and support. This was very common in the Ancient period. Leaders usually professed to have contact with these powers through dreams, and then communicated to the formerr either through a chosen prophet or himself. This practice was seen with certain nations that inhabited the Middle East and other parts of the Ancients world. Later, some nations around the world had copied these Ancients, and had allowed their leaders to depend on these same powers that were thought to live outside the planet earth. But there were other nations who happened to be ruled by individual leaders that professed to be the powers or the channel of the supernatural powers themselves, and so had to be their own mouthpiece who could receive messages from their own sources of powers. Such leaders never saw the vital need to depend on human advisors nor other spiritual advisors except themselves to steer their own kingdoms or empires. Both the former and the latter could easily contract psychiatric illness that we intend to describe here, and they could direct or ascribe their evil doings to these powers thought to inhabit other planets beyond. For while the former leaderships depended on other sources still they had counsellors who purported to be also fanatic concerning these mediums that showered numerous advises to the individual leaders. On many occasions, the advice came from their own minds but still pretended it came from the supernatural beings. But as for the latter, they professed to be guided by some powers and therefore hardly considered human advises as anything but meaningless. Their powers and ideas seem to be authoritarian emanating from a single head.

Definition
AZC disorder is a psychiatric illness that earthly leaders become obsessed with superiority or supernatural merge with some powers outside the human world. These patients themselves purport to receive powers or some answers of important messages from some supernatural powers direct. As such the patients usually shy away from any fruitful advice or counsel from human advisors unless they dream about a message being given to them. But these dreams are nothing but their own imaginations that can be very dangerous because dreams are usually the opposite things that occur during the waking states of man. Patients, therefore, like King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and some other Ancient Roman Emperors, saw themselves as gods who would take the dreams that occur to them as the most important and later wondered for their meanings. A patient with AZC disorder can also regard his own mind as better than other minds that he would not depend on others but himself alone to perform his leadership responsibilities. He therefore uses his “wishes,” “troubles,” and “fears,” to demand answers from these imagined powers and those that can offer them interpretations and meaning.

Symptoms
These patients usually become obsessed with superiority which always is the desire of any leadership be it a king or a civilian leader. They themselves become terrified when they have dream experiences. In their imagination and fantasying they tend to loose contact with reality because of their dreamy states. As a result of their numerous wishes in real life, patients tend to be dreamers and since they follow their dreams they clash often with their subjects or citizens concerning their own wishes and theirs. The patient of AZC disorder usually finds it difficult to tolerate other's ideas since he depends on the purported source of power to accomplish his task. The patient, therefore, uses war and other cruel manners to steer his administration. Because of that the patient becomes always troubled, he also tend to follow his dreams, which are full of imaginations and human error. The major problem with such a patient is neither he hardly listens to advice nor will he come to agreement by using peaceful means when there is a minor conflict. The patient becomes a tyrant that should be comparable to the modern dictators the world possesses. The patient is usually seen to be a leader that causes problems to his inhabitants by brutalising them and enforcing his wishes that he pretends coming from the outer figure. As his subjects become tired of him he usually turns his eyes on other citizens outside his dominion. This is only to help replenish his lost popularity at home. War is usually regarded as a “holy war” or a legitimate thing, where he fulfils the wishes of his God or gods that are his sources of dreams and power. The patient's zealous wish to follow the demands of his purported power source has been the results of the constant battles and wars that had occurred on the planet earth since time immemorial. Adherents of leaders that possess AZC disorder can also be infected by the “Norman Psychosis,” since the latter's characteristic manner of acting as a tyrant in the midst of profound assimilation of ideologies and manipulation, make the adherents behave or carry out conspiracies orchestrated by him without adequate rationalisation. The prophet Samuel, cutting into pieces King Aggag, is one example of the madness of Norman Psychosis.

Case Studies
1. Nebuchadnezzar
The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar was one of the leaders that suffered the AZC disorder. The leader saw himself not only as a human being but also a god. He built for himself a big statue to represent himself, where he invited all his subjects to bow and worship. Those that did not heed his advice were cast into the Lion's den. His obsession with superiority made him to depend on his troubled dreams that often he entreated philosophers and magicians to come and offer him interpretations and meaning. His psychiatric illness compelled him to live in the bush where he fed himself with leaves, fruits, and etc. His brutal manner of steering his kingdom not meant that he punished his subjects severely and constantly, but also people that lived outside his dominion, including the Ancient Israelites, suffered under his rule. This brutal King took the latter into captivity and subjected them into hard labour.

2. Herr Adolf Hitler
The Leader of the Nazi Party in the last century also suffered from AZC disorder. Though he had advisors surrounding him, this leader was most of the time by himself and hardly considered other's advice worth than his own. People around him were afraid of him and felt uncomfortable to criticise him. This is one of the reasons why during the latter days of his rule, he encountered several attempts to be eliminated by those that opposed him. Obsession with superiority that not only him but also his people are the true kind of human beings on earth, made him initiated maltreatment of other races that he did not like personally. By depending on certain myths coined by his party and himself in the midst of manipulation and propaganda, he succeeded in driving his numerous adherents to suffer the “Norman Psychosis,” which is automatic response to commit crime and disturbance through manipulations orchestrated by a chosen leader. In a nation where both citizens and the leadership were obsessed with superiority (Filialdumm), political pursuits became irrational.

3. Far East (Imprisoned the Noble Laureate)
A leader in the Far East that had imprisoned the Noble Laureate is said to hear some voices from the outer planets. Some of them include the counsel concerning his building of another important city elsewhere in his Kingdom. The inability to negotiate with this leader, and his refusal to even honour the pleadings of most respected persons in the world, indicate that this figure is suffering from AZC disorders. He has little contact with reality and so his people shall continue to suffer from his ruling that depends on human error and imaginations.

4. Alexander the Great & Roman Emperors
This Ancient Greek leader's obsession with superiority is something that no one doubts of. It was told that his mother had reinforced the dream that he had had earlier, that he was a Grecian god incarnated. He, therefore, set out to accomplish what this god had asked him to do. His obsession with superiority made him to go on a rampage conquering nations that in the end he did not know what to do with them. Though he died very young at the age 31, he caused a lot of havoc in the world. The AZC disorder made him even to march against the non-warlike people of India and through Afghanistan.

Some well-known Roman Emperors suffered from AZC disorders and as a result brutalised their subjects and the Christians that lived in that kingdom. Some of these emperors saw themselves as gods that could decide the fate of all human beings in their kingdom. The result was devastation that swept through the kingdom about unnecessary entertainment which subjects died through them.

5. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana
The first President of the Republic of Ghana suffered from AZC disorders. He was one of the most respected leaders of Ghana and Africa as a whole. But during his rule, this cherished leader of the Ghanaians said certain things such as “Seek ye first the political kingdom and all other things shall be added unto you.” He would also asked his young pioneers candidates to request for toffee from heaven and once nothing came, then, he would used manipulation to shower these sweets from heaven. During his rule, adherents of him remembered him having some contact with “kankan Nyame” a spiritual helper who helped him to rule his country. He had daily communication with this spiritual power. Though, he is widely respected in his country and beyond, the first President of the Republic of Ghana suffered from this kind of madness which made him became obsessed with superiority such that he was overthrown by military coup d'e tat because he wanted to make himself the Life-President of the country. Later, people became tired of him as opposition grew in number.

6. Ancient Kings and Kingdoms
It is also possible that many of these Ancients Kings that purported to be god themselves or depend on powers from the outer planets were suffering from the AZC disorders. Since we know that dreams are nothing but the opposite happenings of the things that occur in waking states, those that depended on these sleep imaginations to rule their subjects only put them in deep trouble. For, “The imaginations of them that sleep are those we call dreams.” (Hobbes).

Analysis
The problems the world had encountered, had resulted from individual leaders' orchestration of wars that were never opposed by men and women of the earth because, like these leaders, we also believed in their nonsense that some god or God in the outer planets wanted them to wage war on their behalf. The AZC disorder has enlightened us on how the sick leaders had depended on their imaginations that were full human error and manipulations to rule. The sad thing is that we continue to let these impostors to rule and cause havoc on earth. Those patients that show these symptoms should be removed and be treated as soon as we discover them. The world's leadership should be free from these leaders that become obsessed with superiority and in their zenith states cause trouble to the inhabitants of the world. It is not a matter of philosophy, but sheer common sense that tells us that no God would like his children to suffer through turmoil and in a barbaric manner slaughter one another in the battlefield. It is high time we silenced these sick men and never allow them to lead in this world that its inhabitants are tired of war and propaganda conflicts.

Conclusion
The psychiatric illness of AZC has been described by eminent psychiatrists as existing; though they have not been interested in popularising it because those patients that suffer are not many. But if we were to accept it and let it be enshrined in the major textbooks of today, its presence would warn us of the type of persons we would choose to become leaders of states in this modern world. Such women or men that are very fanatic should not be allowed to come close to the chair of the President.
