Capgras Delusion
Capgras delusion "is a disorder in which a person holds a delusion that a friend, spouse, parent, or other close family member (or pet) has been replaced by an identical-looking impostor." One case report even detailed a 74-year-old woman who believed her husband "had been replaced by another unrelated man." She wouldn't sleep with him and actually "asked her son for a gun."
