Apotemnophilia is a rare condition in which a person feels a strong, lasting desire to have a healthy limb removed, often because it feels like it should not be there. The urge is not just a passing thought; it can be intense and upsetting. People with it may seek amputation even when the limb works normally, and it can cause deep distress and confusion.
