In a recent interview, Brad Pitt revealed that he has prosopagnosia, or “facial blindness,” a rare neurological condition. Symptoms include difficulty recognizing faces, which can vary in severity among individuals. Despite no link to learning disabilities or memory loss, some may experience chronic anxiety or depression due to social challenges.
Prosopagnosia can be congenital or acquired, with some cases running in families. Congenital prosopagnosia lacks visible brain abnormalities, making its exact cause uncertain. Acquired prosopagnosia may result from brain injuries or conditions like Alzheimer’s.
