Researcher at Taiz University Releases New Data on Capgras Syndrome (Capgras Syndrome with Non-Violent Behaviour Presenting in Postpartum Period: Case Study with Literature Review).

A recent study conducted at Taiz University examined Capgras syndrome, a delusional misidentification syndrome characterized by the belief that a close relative or family member has been replaced by an imposter who looks identical. The study focused on a case of Capgras syndrome in a 32-year-old woman during the postpartum period, following a caesarean section. The patient experienced delusions that her newborn had been replaced by another baby, but did not exhibit psychotic features, aggression, or violence. The study highlights the monothematic nature of Capgras syndrome and its association with anxiety and depression during the postpartum period. [Extracted from the article]
