A member asked:
Could you know which psychological disorder makes someone believe others are robots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Capgras Syndrome: You may be describing this disorder if the belief is that others you know have been replaced by imposters. The others look, act, and seem identical to the real people but somehow are imposters. Perhaps highly sophisticated robots have replaced them. There have been a number of movies promoting this idea. It does not have to be a robot. It could be any other type of replacement of the person.
