Cotard's Delusion - Walking Corpse Syndrome

- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- People with Cotard's Syndrome believe that parts of their body, organs, blood or soul are missing and that they do not exist, are dying, are dead or are immortal. Sometimes people believe the world does not exist and nothing is real. It can occur in severe depression, schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, brain trauma, brain tumours or brain infection, and other medical conditions affecting the brain.
As someone who has Cotard's Delusion, you explained it very, very well.
Many thanks, Caspian. Best wishes, Beth
I first heard about Cotards from speculation on a famous singer called Per Ohlin (or Dead as his stage name). The symptoms expressed by him and the condition as a whole are equally fascinating and scary. Sadly he ended up taking his life too at a young age.
And a word of warning if anyone looks into this story there are photos in wide circulation of his body so stay safe.
Thank you for this, Anderson. Unfortunately, suicide attempts are common in Cotard's syndrome.
Sometimes I have this feeling. I didn't even know that it is a psychiatric symptom.
Hi Beatrix! Which feeling do you mean? That you are dead, have missing body parts? Please see your GP if necessary. Best wishes, Beth
@@DrBethColby Felling that I do not exist.
Me too
I really enjoy your lectures! I'm getting a dedicated jotter for this channel
I'm glad you're enjoying them, Stephen! Are there any topics you would like me to do videos on?
@@DrBethColby ...Thank you so much. I would be glad to learn more about Safeguarding
Is there any hope for a person like this. Benzodiazepines have done this to me. Im also lame in my legs. Thank you for the video
You're welcome, Louise. There is always hope. Psychology and medication and support from family and friends and prayer help. Best wishes, Beth
I have bad OCD, Anxiety and Depression with lots of SSI. When I'm not doing well I do have lots of thoughts that nothing is real, I am younger. How can I combat this so it does not get worse?
My daughter has been very distressed and telling me she feels empty inside like she has no guts and is just skin without anything inside. It is causing her to lose sleep want to sleep in my room anxiety and panic. She is 10 and has talked about this before a few times when she was younger. Cotard doesn't seem to quite fit is there another disorder that I could bring to her pediatricians attention?
Do you think she might be depressed? Has she got any other symptoms, Jordan?
@@DrBethColby her pediatrician has been monitoring her for general anxiety. I spoke with her today and she has recommended starting her on Zoloft. We'll see how that goes.
Oh I have Iih too much fluid in my brain and migraines, but I also have fibromyalgia and I also had a NDE that didn’t help. And after ten years I still struggle but nobody can understand. I’m much better atm but this world will pass away soon x
It sounds as though you have a lot on your plate. What do you mean by 'this world will pass away soon'?
@@DrBethColby oh sorry, I’m thinking about when I had my NDE in Heaven with God , it was amazing and full of pure love 💗 and just felt like one day we would all be there with Him ! Xx
@@DrBethColby thanks for replying, yes I do I’ve had counselling but I think I have trauma mixed with autism too. Even as a child I’ve struggled with understanding ppl ! Xx
