Capgras syndrome
z (^) A common type of delusional misidenitification syndrome ,that is, the false belief in doubles and duplicates .It is characterized by the delusional belief that someone significant or well know to an individual ,usually a close relative or family member,has been replaced by an imposter with a strong physical resemblace.
z Causes (^) The exact causes of Capgras syndrome are not known, but there are theories about why its symptoms occur. These include: (^) One theory is that Capgras syndrome results from a brain injury involving lesions on the brain. Traumatic lesions on the brain were present in more than one-third of all documented cases of Capgras syndrome (^) Capgras syndrome could also caused by a disconnect between the visual part of the brain and the area that processes facial familiarity. This disconnect could cause a person to misidentify someone they know. (^) Other theories suggest that underlying conditions, such as dementia or Alzheimer's disease, may be the cause.
z Symptoms (^) The most obvious symptom of Capgras syndrome is when someone starts to believe that a person close to them is either a double or has been replaced by someone else. (^) The person may acknowledge that the "imposter" looks exactly like the "original," but they believe that they can see through the "disguise." This can cause anxiety and changes in someone's behavior. (^) In some cases, a person may be violent towards the "imposter," although this is not always the case. It is more likely that the person will appear anxious or afraid. (^) The person affected by Capgras syndrome may become obsessed with the "imposter" or with finding the "real" person. This can lead to additional stress, anger, and arguments between the person affected and those around them.
