This is an interesting article on Techdirt that deals with a disorder where people believe their lives are a movie, like Jim Carey in the Truman Show.

Having had a brother with paranoid schizophrenia, I’m actually well aware that this is a real condition that drastically affects peoples lives, as well as the people around them. People with this disorder really have no say in how they perceive the world, they just do, and it’s a struggle for many of them to deal with many of the things we take for granted. Often, these delusions cause anxiety and depression, which can lead to social disfunction. Honestly, it isn’t a disorder that magically goes away by itself, but people who have this disorder benefit greatly from having good emotional support around them. And while I’m not a big proponent of medication in general, some medications seem to work for people.

Anyway, I won’t repeat the article, just passing it on.
