CAPGRAS

Capgras syndrome (CS) is a psychological condition also known as the delusion of doubles.

Sometimes, the person experiencing the delusion may believe an animal, object, or even a home is an imposter. CS can affect anyone, but it’s more in people assigned female at birth. In rare cases, it can also affect children.

It is a misidentification syndrome also known as “imposter syndrome” or “Capgras delusion.”

People with this syndrome might accuse a spouse of being an imposter of their actual spouse. This can be upsetting for both the person experiencing the delusion and the person accused of being an imposter.
