The "Truman Sydrome" is a disorder that some people have where they have a idea that they are stars of their real life reality show.They are under the impression that they are being watch all the time. The developed the name for this mental disorder after the 1998 movie "The Truman Show", where the funny Jim Carey plays the character of Truman. The character is unaware that his on a television. It is a little different then the people that think they are. Actually some people had this disorder way before they had a name to label it. You can image that people faced with this problem find it very diffcult to go in the outside world. That is when this illness can become dangerous for them and for the public as well.These people can also feel like the goverment is watching them,they may even think that everybody is literally out to get them. Some indiviuals may feel that they are being setup for failer.
There is not much treatment for this illness,because the doctors are really not aware on how the brain is working when the delusions are occuring.
