What is Mrs. B's condition? How does it affect her? Is she bothered by it?

Mrs. B has a common form of schizophrenia that prevents her from recognizing individuals as whole personalities. She calls Dr. Sacks father, sister and doctor all within a single meeting because his beard reminds her of a priest, his white coat reminds her of a nun, and his stethoscope reminds her of a doctor. She feels jovial about herself and her life and sees no problem with the way she identifies people.
