Hello! I visited my friend yesterday and found her crying. She was desperate. After she described all the problems she had with her husband I became really worried. They got married only a year ago and their marriage was fine but few months ago he started to behave strange. He believes that she has been replaced by an impostor. My friend thinks that he suffers from capgras delusion but I think that he is maybe addicted to some narcotics. What are the symptoms of capgras delusion?
