What if you woke up one day, fully convinced that your flesh was rotting, your organs were decomposing, and you were dead?

Today we discuss the absolutely terrifying mental illness called Cotard’s  Delusion, or Walking Corpse Syndrome. 

We will discuss what it is, how it’s diagnosed and treated, but we are going to spend a lot of time on individual case studies, and all the details they contain.  We will also talk about a related illness called Capgras Syndrome, koro, lots about psychiatry, a surprising link to COVID-19, Cotard’s in pop culture, and more!

The brain is a wild place, ya’ll.
