Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Capgras syndrome is a rare delusional misidentification syndrome.
  • It is characterized by the delusion that familiar people have been replaced by exact duplicates or impostors.
  • This syndrome can lead to unpredictable and dangerous behavior.

Observation:

  • A 28-year-old male presented after an attempted murder.
  • The patient exhibited symptoms of Capgras syndrome, believing his parents were impostors.
  • A history of cannabis consumption was noted, with urine tests confirming tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with Capgras syndrome secondary to cannabis use.
  • Treatment involved a combination of two antipsychotic medications and one mood stabilizer.
  • Significant improvement was observed within two months of treatment initiation.

Implications:

  • Cannabis use can precipitate or exacerbate psychiatric conditions like Capgras syndrome.
  • Combined pharmacological treatment can be effective in managing substance-induced Capgras syndrome.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering substance use in the differential diagnosis of delusional disorders.
