Clinical lycanthropy
Clinical lycanthropy is defined as a rare
psychiatric syndrome that involves a
delusion that the affected person can or has transformed into an
animal, or that he or she is in some way an animal. Its name is connected to the
mythical condition of
lycanthropy, a
supernatural affliction in which people are said to physically
shapeshift into
werewolves. The word zoanthropy is also sometimes used for the delusion that one has turned into an animal in general and not specifically a wolf.
