The Truman Show delusion
is a type of persecutory/grandiose delusion in which patients believe their lives are staged plays or reality television shows. The term was coined in 2008 by brothers Joel and Ian Gold, a psychiatrist and a neurophilosopher, respectively, after the 1998 film The Truman Show. It is not officially recognized and is not listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association.[1] Truman Syndrome may be a related condition.
