Cotard Delusion

Cotard Delusion is a psychiatric disorder in which a person has the delusional belief that they are dead, has lost internal organs, blood, body parts, or believing that they have no soul. It is a relatively rare disorder. Mostly reported with patients that has also been diagnosed with brain damage, psychotic disorders, and mood disorders. Different individualized treatments and medications help extinguish the disorder. I think Cotard Delusion is one of the most interesting and intense disorders that I have read about so far. Sometimes I am in total disbelief with the cases. I totally do not recommend reading about it if you are sensitive to this kind of subject, but if you find it as interesting as I do then I definitely recommend it.
