Face Loss

"Face agnostic syndrome"-as the name suggests, is that patients cannot recognize human faces. The patient couldn't watch a movie because he couldn't figure out the characters inside; they couldn't find a specific person from the group photo. Patients with less severe illnesses can be trained to remember a limited number of faces. Patients with more severe illnesses can only recognize their own families, and patients with the most severe illnesses can only recognize themselves.
