The Truman Show delusion

The Truman Show delusion is a controversial type of persecutory/grandiose delusion in which patients believe their lives are reality television shows. The term was coined in 2008 by brothers Joel and Ian Gold, who are both psychiatrists, after the 1998 film The Truman Show.

There have been over 40 recorded instances of people suffering from the Truman Show Delusion in the U.S., the U.K. and elsewhere.
