There's this mental disorder where people think their someone who they arent.
EXAMPLE: This REALLY REALLY weird a** girl in my school thinks shes on the show *One Tree Hill. Everyday she comes to school saying "OMg MY BF NATHAN DID blahblahblahblah......" && Some weird s**t like that. && She REALLY believes it...which is pretty scary.
I wonder if anyone thinks that their a party of the Gorillaz......... eek
*Stupidest show I've EVER seen. In my LIFE.
EDIT: Oh yea, && That girl is 16 turning 17. So its not like shes a little kid.

Er, I think it's actually a form of psychosis - though I'm pretty sure schizophrenia is a form of psychosis as well, so you're pretty right in saying that. ^.^'
My best friend's father had schizophrenia; he became convinced that his wife was cheating on him. Longer and more awful story than that, but she would rather I didn't talk about it, I'm sure.
Some people with similar forms of psychosis believe things including: 1. that they are dead 2. that people are swapping identities behind their backs 3. that they have a duplicate
and a lot of other stuff.
So I wouldn't put it in the 'impossible' category, for sure.

The brain is such an interesting organ. And I find it so funny that we learn more about it from damaged ones than fully-functioning brains. xp

We really didn't cover mental disorders very much in my psychology class... sad
But that's probably because it was only a semester. Stupid high school. xp

Well, I'm sure that a university unit is a lot more intensive than a high school semester, no? There's one in final year called "Abnormal Psychology"... which should be fun.
