What Is Capgras Syndrome?
7. Symptoms
The main symptom of Capgras symptom is the delusion that even people close to them are imposters. It doesn’t matter how much people might try to convince them otherwise, but the delusion remains regardless. It used to be thought that violence was another symptom, but it is now thought that this is not down to Capgras itself.
It is not only people close to them that Capgras patients struggle with. They can also suffer the same delusions with people that they known less well. Even some pets might be though to be imposters and, in some cases, the patient might even be convinced that an object is a fake?
