28-year-old Australian woman Emily Morton has been diagnosed with a rare and excruciating condition called trigeminal neuralgia or the "suicide disease." The disorder first started manifesting three years ago as what appeared to be a toothache but soon progressed into severe facial pain. Despite multiple medical consultations, her condition went undiagnosed until recently when she was diagnosed with atypical trigeminal neuralgia.
