This mental disorder is when the person genuinely thinks that parts of their body are missing or they are dead or they are dying or they don’t exist and they can even think that nothing exists. This disorder is pretty rare there is only like 200 cases of it worldwide. People that have this disorder aren’t very social like a lot less social than others without it or just stop talking in general, some hear voices telling them that they are dead or dying. Some refuse to eat because they see no reason they are “dead”, and you’ve never seen a dead body eating. This is how Walking Corpse Syndrome/Cotard’s Syndrome affects your Hauora
Physically
- refuse to care for themselves (eat, shower… etc) because there is no point and they are already dead
- risk harming themselves
Socially
- isolation from other people
- can’t talk to others properly because they think they aren’t a part of the human world
- family find it difficult to understand their beliefs
Mentally
- severe depression
- distorts the way they think (cant think logically and has no problem-solving skills)
Spiritually
- feel like they have no purpose (because they are “dead”)
- disconnection from spiritual beliefs (if they had really strong spiritual beliefs Cotard’s Syndrome will change that)
so that is all I have to say about Walking Corpse Syndrome/Cotard’s Syndrome.
