Comorbidity of Schizophrenia and Cotard's Syndrome
Cotard's Syndrome (the delusion of being dead or non-existent) can occur as a symptom of schizophrenia, and schizophrenia is itself one of the recognized causes of Cotard's Syndrome. This comorbidity is rare: fewer than 1% of individuals with schizophrenia are also diagnosed with Cotard's Syndrome. The two conditions share overlapping symptoms, most notably nihilistic delusions and ideas.
