Are there any Known causes of the disease?

The disease was First described in the late 19th century by psychiatrist Jules Cotard, who had been watching the patient, who claimed that she was dead, because she has no heart and stomach. In honor of the doctor this pathology is called “the syndrome of Cotard’.

Discovered that the disease is often seen in susceptible women, migraine sufferers, or the elderly waiting to die. Sometimes it can occur in patients with brain tumors after severe injuries of the skull, damaging the area that controls learning and emotion. This probably leads to the confidence of the patient in the “otherworldliness" environment and himself. It is also known that among suffering from this disease are mainly people who have had problems with the recognition of themselves as individuals, not able to make its own “I”.

But, unfortunately, the true causes and treatments of this deviation is not yet established. It is only known that the syndrome of the living dead is not inherited and is not a genetic disease. It refers to the manifestations of schizophrenia and treated only symptomatic manifestations.
