Capgras syndrome is a delusional misidentification where a person believes a familiar individual has been replaced by an impostor. While it can accompany conditions like schizophrenia, dementia, or brain injury, violence is not an inherent or reliably associated feature. Case series examining violence in Capgras find no consistent evidence that the syndrome itself raises the risk of violent acts. If violence occurs, it’s typically due to other factors such as overall psychosis severity, agitation, mood disorders, substance use, or comorbid brain injury, rather than Capgras alone. So the statement that there is no evidence of violence linked to Capgras best reflects what those case series show.
