Imagine Waking Up and Realizing You're Dead

Ever wondered what it's like to feel... dead?

Cotard's Syndrome, also known as "Walking Corpse Syndrome," is a rare and bizarre condition where people become absolutely convinced they are no longer alive. They might believe their body is rotting, their organs are missing, or that they are simply a ghost walking among the living.

This isn't just a delusion—it's a profound sense of nihilism that can lead to dangerous behaviors, like refusing to eat because they believe they don't need food. This mysterious condition is often linked to severe depression and brain injuries, leaving doctors to wonder: how can a mind believe it's dead when the body is still alive?

It's one of the most chilling mysteries of the human brain.
