Researchers have begun documenting recent cases of people who are convinced that the world is a stage and their lives are the center of a clandestine reality show. A few years back, New York psychiatrist Joel Gold initially met with five patients that suffered from reality TV related delusions that he later dubbed as “Truman syndrome.” As Gold and his brother, a psychologist, began to share their findings with the psychiatric community, they eventually learned of close to 50 similar cases that their peers had encountered.
