"The Truman Show Delusion"

Joel Gold, director of psychiatrics at the Bellevue Hospital Center, revealed
that by 2008, he had met five patients with schizophrenia (and heard of
another twelve) who believed their lives were reality television shows.
Gold named the syndrome after the film, and attributed the particular
delusion to a world that had become publicity hungry. Gold stated some
patients were rendered happy by their disease, while "others were
tormented. One came to New York to check whether the World Trade
Center had actually fallen – believing 9/11 to be an elaborate plot twist in
his personal storyline. Another came to climb the Statue of Liberty,
believing that he'd be reunited with his high-school girlfriend at the top,
and finally be released from the 'show'."[38]

In August 2008, the British Journal of Psychiatry reported similar cases in
the United Kingdom [39] [1]. The delusion has informally been referred to
as "Truman syndrome", according to an Associated Press article of
November 24, 2008. [2]
