    Brain Disorder of the Week

    In my continuing "<object> of the day" series, I wish to make this edition a more interactive issue. Not only that, but the Brain Disorder that you select becomes the Brain Disorder of the week! Read from the descriptions below and choose your favorite Brain Disorder now!

    Capgras' Syndrome: Capgras' Syndrome is a disorder in which the victim holds the belief that close acquaintances of theirs, usually a family member, a relative or a spouse has been replaced by a duplicate, an imposter. The original being eliminated, possibly by alien abduction. Such people live in paranoia.

    Fregoli's Syndrome: This disorder is something the opposite of Capgras' Syndrome. With Fregoli's Syndrome, a victim is able to "recognize" strangers because he believes that they are all, in fact, the same person in different disguises. Such people live in paranoia as well.

    Cotard's Syndrome: Cotard's syndrome is a disorder in which the victim believes that he is dead or that he does not exist or that he has lost an essential set or part of his organs in a way that denies his existence (such as no heart or no blood). Such people tend to live under delusions of immortality.

    Does this actually make any sense to anyone? How can one be dead and immortal at the same time (excluding Douglas Adams of course, both of my parents were replaced by Douglas Adams, neither of which exist.)
    I don't live here any more.

    You call yourself a C# programmer and ignore the "or" conditions? Lenin must be rolling in his grave right now for some unrelated reason.

    "or" is a VB syntax.

    I do not ignore "||" conditions, however.

    Probably bed sores. He's been lying in the same position for a long time now, so that would be understandable.

    Mendhak, what if you didn't lost an eye, but gain another eye. That would make four. What syndrome would that be?

    IMHO, Fregoli's Syndrome is for guilty people.

    Gentlemen and Doofus, we have a winner!

    Cotard's Syndrome wins. Although I did notice that not many of you put a lot of thought into your choices. :rofl:
