Shenaz Treasury reveals she is diagnosed with prosopagnosia, says she ‘can’t recognise faces’
01/07/2022
Shenaz Treasury recently took to her Instagram handle to share that she has been diagnosed with Prosopagnosia.
Prosopagnosia is a disorder in which people face difficulties in remembering people's faces.
Shenaz wrote, “I have been diagnosed with prosopagnosia 2. Now, I understand why I've never been able to put faces together. It's a cognitive disorder. I always felt ashamed that I can't recognise faces. I recognise voices.”
In another slide, she wrote, “Signs and symptoms of face blindness/prosopagnosia. 1. You have failed to recognise a close friend or family member, especially when you weren't expecting to see them. Yes, that is me.
Takes me a minute to register who the person is. Sometimes even a close friend I haven't seen in a while."
Further, she added, ‘You have difficulty recognising neighbours, friends, coworkers, clients, schoolmates. People you know expect you to recognise them. Failing to recognise someone might make you seem aloof.
Many sufferers report losing friends and offending coworkers because they have failed to recognise them. This is me.”
Shenaz also went on to add, “So you confuse characters in movies or on television more so than other people? Yes, I do. I can't tell the difference if two characters have the same height and build and hairstyle.
So now please understand that this is a real disorder and not me being aloof or snobbish.” She called it a real brain issue.
After making her debut with Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao starrer ‘Ishq Vishk’, Shenaz appeared in films like ‘Umar’, ‘Aagey Se Right’, ‘Radio’, ‘Luv Ka The End’, ‘Delhi Belly’ and others.
