Description

Imagine believing, with absolute certainty, that your body is rotting, but you're still walking. This is the terrifying reality of Cotard's Syndrome, or the 'Walking Corpse Syndrome.' This extremely rare condition convinces the living that they are dead, missing organs, or have no blood. We explore the nihilistic delusions, the underlying triggers, and the remarkable treatment that brought one man, Mr. B, back from believing he was a corpse. Find out how this dark medical mystery was finally resolved.
