Prosopagnosia, the disease that does not allow Brad Pitt to recognize people’s faces

Brad Pitt already spoke a long time ago about prosopagnosia or “facial blindness”, a neurological disease that prevents him from recognizing people’s facesbut the actor ‘The fight club’ has returned to give more details about this strange disorder that he affirms that it is beginning to affect him psychologically since it does not allow him to interact normally in society.

“A lot of people hate me because they think I’m disrespecting them. They think I’m cocky, rude and self-centered. And it gets worse when I tell them to contextualize the moment we met, so they get even more offended,” she said in a recent interview.

In 2013 he recognized that he suffered the first symptoms in an interview with Esquire magazine, but over the years the prosopagnosia has become more acute and, although he has not been formally diagnosed, he suffers from the social and psychological consequences of this disorder.

What is prosopagnosia or “face blindness”?

Prosopagnosia or “face blindness” is a neurological disease that makes it impossible for the brain to process information to recognize, identify and perceive familiar faces. The patient sees blurred, blurred faces, and there are more serious cases in which he is even unable to recognize himself in front of the mirror.
