The People Who Believe They're DEAD : The Walking Corpse Syndrome
About this episode
This episode explores Walking Corpse Syndrome, a rare condition where individuals believe they are dead.
Imagine waking up convinced you’re dead. Walking Corpse Syndrome, or Cotard’s Syndrome, is a rare condition where people genuinely believe they have no organs, no blood, or no life left inside them. They might insist they’re a walking corpse, deny the need to eat or sleep, and move through the world like a ghost in their own story, physically alive, but utterly certain they no longer exist.
