spouse, parent, sibling, or caregiver, has been replaced by an identical double.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At its core, this disorder is all about delusion. Even when patients are presented with concrete proof, logic, or reassurance, their belief remains unshaken.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capgras delusion doesn\u2019t come from poor eyesight or memory loss.
