In the movie an endless day, Bill Murray wakes up every day on February 2 and has to relive Groundhog Day over and over once more. If this film is a fiction, there is a psychiatric illness that causes the same symptoms, the impression of constantly reliving the same events. In 2020, an 84-year-old Dutch woman consults a psychiatrist from a hospital in The Hague with disconcerting problems: she feels like she is reliving the same events. For her, the same programs are looped on TV. She also says that football matches, although live, are actually replays. His daughter tells him regarding an upcoming exhibition at a city museum, but the octogenarian assures him that she has already seen it. She approaches strangers on the street, thinking they are acquaintances. In short, this woman’s life has become a disturbing series of “déjà-vu” and confusion that worries those close to her.

Having had epileptic seizures in the past, which can lead to speechless words, the doctors go in this direction and prescribe antiepileptics. These symptoms do not improve and changes in treatment do not change this. Neuropsychiatric tests show mild depression and anxiety, but nothing that can explain these symptoms. After two years of follow-up, the patient’s condition has not changed much apart from the work on accepting her condition. She was eventually diagnosed with a “deja-lived syndrome” of no known origin.
Deja-vu is a very rare disease that belongs, like deja-vu, to the family of paramnesias. There are only 14 serious cases described in the scientific literature, the first being described in the 1920s. It is that of a young French soldier who believed he had already lived his entire life. He suffered from a neurological form of malaria which was probably the cause of these symptoms. He was convinced that his brother’s wedding was just another ceremony. Symptoms that left him in a feeling of paranoia and constant restlessness.
We’ve all experienced deja vu, a mild and mild form of paramnesia, but deja vu is considered a severe or severe form of these neurological disorders. There is no standard treatment for this disease, it is administered on a case-by-case basis depending on its etiology. Supporting the patient and his family to understand and accept the disease is essential.
