"Groundhog Day": illness made a man believe that he was living the same events

A rare complication in Alzheimer's disease made an 80-year-old man think that the same events were happening around him. Just like in the movie "Groundhog Day", writes Live Science with reference to the study Déjà vécu with recollective confabulation: an unusual presentation of Alzheimer’s disease in the journal BMJ Case Reports.

The first symptoms appeared 4 years ago, and over time they became more and more frightening. At first, he complained about his e-book, which shows the same novels. Then the TV started to "repeat". And soon he was surrounded by the same people.

Everywhere I go, the same people on the side of the road, the same cars behind me with the same people in them… The same clothes, the same bags, the same words — nothing new.

A man with a rare complication of Alzheimer's disease

After the first symptoms, he stayed at home for a long time and was able to take care of himself on his own, according to doctors who have been monitoring his condition for several years.

Doctors concluded that this condition is deja vecu with recollective confabulation (DVRC). It occurs in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Occurs as a result of cells of the central nervous system ceasing to work. Among other things, this complication worsens the cognitive abilities of the patient. The disease progresses over time and is not yet treated.

In fact, with DVRC, it seems to a person that all new events in life are a repetition of previous experiences. Unlike deja vu, this is a steady perception, not a fleeting sensation.
