If you start forgetting faces…

There is a psychological condition known as Cotard’s syndrome where people are possessed by the idea that they are dead and no longer exist.  To them, they are no longer here or, at the very least, missing important organs. 

The French (who discovered it) called it the “negation delirium”.

This is another thing that makes me uncomfortable--even more than the Wikipedia photo of a White Man.
