Cotard's delusion, also known as walking corpse syndrome or Cotard's syndrome, is a rare mental disorder in which the affected person holds the delusional belief that he or she is dead, does not exist, is putrefying, or has lost their blood or internal organs. Statistical analysis of a hundred-patient cohort indicated that denial of self-existence is present in 45\% of the cases of Cotard's syndrome; the other 55\% of the patients presented with delusions of immortality.
