N: 1. Cotard’s syndrome: eponymous created from Parisian neurologist.’s name Jules Cotard (1840-1889).
Dr. Jules Cotard (1840-1889) was a Parisian neurologist who first described the délire des négations.

• It is not classified under the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) but is recognised as a “disease of human health” in the International Classification of Diseases.

2. A rare mental illness can make the sufferer believe they are dead, partly dead or do not exist.
3. Cultural Interrelation:
– Reality:

• New Scientist conducted an interview with Graham, a man who suffered the Cotard’s Syndrome. The interview is called: Mindscapes: First interview with a dead man.
• French neurologist Jules Cotard identified the first case in the 1800s. He described a woman suffering from the condition as affirming “she has no brain, no nerves, no chest, no stomach, no intestines… only skin and bones of a decomposing body”.

– Fictional:

• It should be noted the Canadian film of 2012 Thanatomorphose by Éric Falardeau.
