Delusional misidentification

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The delusional misidentifications include the Capgras and Fregoli syndromes , the syndrome of the subjective doppelganger and intermetamorphosis . What these disorders have in common is that the persons concerned negate their own identity or the identity of known persons and are convinced of a physical and / or psychological transformation. The delusional thought thus primarily affects the identification of people, but also that of animals.
