Something makes me think It would lead to new questions. With some things I have seen, these people do not seem so crazy to me. They probably know too well what they're talking about. Funny, is'nt it, eh? If I were in their shoes, I would have tested their “fake” relatives’ DNA. Something makes me think It would lead to new questions.

I found this website looking for articles on Capgras. My mother has died 6 years ago, partly because of this syndrome. I didn't know it had a name until very recently. This article is the first thing I read about it that is well written and very recognisable to me. I am astonished to learn that there are more people who consider their loved ones to be imposters, because at the time I thought it was a unique thing. Very difficult to explain to outsiders that your mother thinks you are a duplicate of yourself. I have lived with it for years and not one medical expert ever mentioned Capgras to me. This article clarifies a lot, not especially to me, but to everyone that has never heard about this. So thank you very much. I am happy that more people get to know about this strange phenomena, and it feels comforting to know that I was not the only one struggling with a relative with this bizar syndrome.</p> This syndrome indeed is damn interesting and damn destructive too!
