Capgras Delusion

The Capgras delusion is a rare disorder in which a person believes that an acquaintance, often the spouse or a close relative, was replaced by a lookalike identical.

It is more common in patients with schizophrenia, although it occurs in people with dementia or who have suffered some brain damage.


The paranoia induced by this disease has been used in several science fiction films such as Invasion of Soul, Total Recall and The Stepford Wives.
