There’s a Disorder Where People Can’t Recognize Themselves in the Mirror

A rare psychological condition called Mirrored-Self Misidentification makes individuals believe the reflection they see is a completely different person.

• They may think the “person in the mirror” is a stranger imitating them.
• Some even believe the reflection has its own intentions.

It’s often linked to dementia or brain injury but can appear on its own.
It’s one of the strangest delusions ever documented — and almost nobody outside clinical psychology knows it exists.
