This neurological disorder, known as hyperfamiliarity for faces (HFF), leads Jenny to see intense familiarity in the faces of unknown people, even in crowded places like cafes, shops, and cinemas. Jenny’s condition started abruptly in the autumn of 2019 after she suffered a severe migraine during a walk with her daughter in Gloucestershire.
