Hood's Syndrome is a lack of social interaction in where one isolates themselves from all means of communications with other individuals, up to and including their spouse.

Causes
The cause of Hood's Syndrome are unknown at this time but some professionals believe it is tied to withdrawal from and denial of social media or other electronic forms of interactions or communications.

Symptoms
The apparent symptoms of Hood's Symdrome include but are not limited to the following:


 * Ignoring text messages, voice mails, phone calls, emails, etc.
 * Stating they were out of signal range and/or their batteries were dead
 * Blatantly failing to wave at passers by whom are waving at the sufferer
 * Conveniently forgetting important dates or reservations as to avoid interaction
 * Staging bogus or false stories or drama to avoid interaction

Treatment
Treatment for Hood's Syndrome all depends upon the cooperation of the afflicted individual. Most often to begin treating the syndrome an intervention must be staged. Staging an intervention must be done ever so cleverly and meticulously as to not alert the sufferer ahead of time to the plan. The sufferer must be caught completely off guard and for the most part be forced in to face to face interaction in which they face the individual(s) for whom they have been hiding from. There may be a need to repeat the intervention process multiple times until the sufferer feels confident enough to engage in social interaction again. Unfortunately there are some severe cases where once an intervention has been performed the social interaction may be short lived and require repeated treatment attempts.
