Sad news regarding Brad Pitt – The actor made the statement himself
Brad Pitt, an actor and producer, recently revealed heartbreaking news with his followers. The Fight Club star spoke with QG and stated that he has been failing to recognise people’s faces, a condition known as prosopagnosia or “face blindness.”
With a worried tone in his voice, the famed Hollywood star said that he has yet to be officially diagnosed with the ailment, but he is certain he has it.
He expressed worry because he believes his failure to recognise faces has lead people to perceive him as “remote and aloof, inaccessible, self-absorbed.” Pitt stated that he wanted to meet other people who had this illness. “Nobody believes me,” Pitt was claimed to have told the reporter, and it’s easy to see why. Despite the fact that most people have never heard of “face blindness,” this ailment is real and poses a serious challenge to those who are compelled to live with it.
According to the National Institute of Health, prosopagnosia is a neurological disease that can make it difficult to recognise family members or friends. According to study, it affects one out of every fifty people. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes, “face blindness” is not associated with memory loss, vision issues, or learning impairment.
In an article for the New York Times, Dani Blum writes of the signs, causes, and cures of the illness, noting that “it is not the same as forgetting or occasionally having trouble finding the correct word,” adding that the severity varies from person to person.
“Navigating basic social relationships with prosopagnosia can become difficult,” Blum writes.
The causes are commonly attributed to stroke, brain damage, or just a hereditary susceptibility. However, those who have it do not appear to have any evident structural abnormalities in the brain, which is why doctors are unsure how to treat it appropriately.
Some treatments for the illness focus on developing new ways to recognise persons other than their visual traits. We hope Brad Pitt receives the necessary assistance to keep his situation under control, as much as that is possible.
