Medical Term of the Day

Okay, so I am going to try and post a cool medical term each day, in hopes of spreading a little bit of the awesome tidbit knowledge that non-medical people are usually unaware of.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Capgras Syndrome. This is a true and identifiable delusional disorder in which the patient believes that a friend/relative/pet/houseplant has been replaced by an identical impostor.

And if that's not good enough, they can also see themselves as being their own double.

Makes you rethink the definition of doppelganger.
