Isn't that the one where you think you're already dead or at least
about to be dead? There's a film just coming out where one of the
people in the film suffers from Cotard's. Has a name like Schenectady
but it's a word meaning an aphorism with more than one meaning.

Ah ha! Thanks to the New York Times I know the name of the film is
"Synecdoche, New York" and it's a sub-class of metaphor.
