In our modern lives, we all think like we are living the same day with going to work, coming back home and sleeping. It can sound like same day but one guy took it far. Doctors recorded a case suffering from severe déjà vu, who felt that new developments in his life were in fact a repetition of previous experiences.

A rare syndrome: A man thinks he keeps living the same day

Feeling as if you have experienced a new event or seen a new place before is called deja vu. The term comes from the French words deja (formerly) and voir (to see). This feeling, which everyone experiences from time to time, can reach abnormal levels in some people. 

In this case, a male patient in his 80s was admitted to the hospital after he started exhibiting unusual behavior. For example, he believed that his e-book device was malfunctioning and had him read the same texts over and over.

He also thought that his TV was showing the same news over and over. For this reason, the old man reported that he also called the technicians for his devices and received the answer that the devices were working properly. According to IFL Science, his family could not convince the patient that all this was a figment of imagination.
