Anton-Babinski syndrome, for instance, is a condition in which people are blind but refuse to believe it. In Riddoch syndrome, victims cannot see objects unless they are in motion. Capgras syndrome is a condition in which sufferers become convinced that those close to them are impostors. In Klüver-Bucy syndrome, the victims develop an urge to eat and fornicate indiscriminately (to the understandable dismay of loved ones). Perhaps the most bizarre of all is Cotard delusion, in which the sufferer believes he is dead and cannot be convinced otherwise.
