"Autoimmunity is the failure of an organism to recognise its own constituent parts (down to the sub-molecular levels) as 'Self,' as a result of which it attempts to mount an immune response against its own cells and tissues. Any disease that results from such an aberrant immune response is termed an autoimmune disease, the prominent examples being Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren's syndrome and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)."
Is this the perfect physical manifestation of an existential crisis or what? A painfully silent suicide.
