CAPGRAS SYNDROME [THE PEOPLE FEEL FALSE]
<p><em>Falsus- Everything and Everyone is false i</em><em style="background-color: transparent;">ncluding me.</em></p><p>You wake up one day, and your mother looks exactly like your mother, but you're sure she's been replaced by an imposter. Everything matches, the face, the voice, but the feeling or recognition is gone</p><p><em>This is capgras syndrome[the people feel false] </em></p><p>In capgras syndrome, the visual pathway works perfectly but the emotional pathway is severed, so the face arrives, the brain goes "yes, that is her" but when the feeling comes the brain is like " Nah, that's not my mom , This is an imposter" </p><p>Some patients become convinced the imposter is dangerous, that the real person is being held somewhere or dead, and this thing wearing their face has a motive.</p><p><br/></p><p>There are cases where patients have attacked family members trying to find the real one underneath.</p><p>One mam dismembered his father looking for<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> "the robot components" which he was sure were inside.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">He wasn't angry at his father, he was trying to rescue him.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Some capgras patients even go to the extent of losing recognitions of themselves in the mirror. They see a face that matches theirs but the feeling does not come so they conclude the mirror is showing them their imposter "</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><br/></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">The similarities between this and the Truman show delusion as discussed previously in my former and first insight in the series is blurred.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">One is hyper connection, the other is disconnection. Both end up in the same place, a world that looks exactly right but feels fundamentally false.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><br/></span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">If you missed the first insight, you can check it out in my profile section.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Would really appreciate your thoughts in the comment section.</span></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><em><br/></em></p>
