Time To Turn Off The TV
 

Two Montreal shrinks have diagnosed a new mental illness where sufferers are convinced their life is one, big reality TV show. They're calling the disorder the "Truman Show Delusion," after the 1998 movie starring Jim Carrey. Psychologist brothers Joel and Ian Gold, who are writing a paper about the illness, have treated five men, all between the ages of 25-34, for the disorder. 'I realized that I was and am the center, the focus of attention by millions and millions of people,' one patient told the doctors." [NYP]

Oh Puh-lease!! Wouldn't that be a delusion or thought disorder. Nice try to get their names in some psych journals. But if it is real I do know a girl who they should treat!!
