There are all kinds of delusions.
Here’s one: You believe you’re the star of a movie and that your life is being watched and recorded. Every second of it. And everyone around you – your family, friends, even strangers – they’re in on it. This is your life and it’s hell.
This unusual mental disorder, dubbed The Truman Show syndrome (after the movie starring Jim Carrey), was observed by psychiatrist Joel Gold in a number of patients. He along with his brother, neurophilosopher Ian Gold wrote about it.
On this podcast, Ian Gold explores this disorder and other kinds of delusions. The Truman Show syndrome is a serious condition. But what about delusions a lot of people seem to have – who aren’t necessarily mentally ill? How and why does this happen?
Is this someone you know? Could it be you?
