Messianic complex is a psychological state in which the individual believes him/herself to be, or is destined to become, the saviour of the particular field, a group, an event, a time period, or in worse case scenario, the world.
People with Messianic Complexes tend to see themselves as saviours to a specific group of people or a specific field, making claims of their own glory, or claiming a self awareness of their own gift and how that gift can affect a group of people or a field of life.
In the worse cases, people with Messianic Complexes may see themselves as spiritual/religious Messiahs with transcendent powers who are destined to save the world.
that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception or expression of reality and by significant social or occupational dysfunction. A person experiencing m.c. is typically characterized as demonstrating disorganized thinking, and as experiencing delusions or hallucinations, in particular auditory hallucinations
It is a mental disorder where the "ill" individual's symptoms are either self-induced or falsified by the patient. Essentially, it is faking sick: the act of an individual faking, exaggerating, or even inflicting self injuries. Their state of consciousness in this act falls somewhere between (and involves both) the conscious and unconscious mind. The main reasons why individuals develop this disorder is to resume the status of a "patient." Hence, they win over the attention, nurturance, sympathy, and even leniency that they feel they are unable to obtain any other way. These individuals produce or exaggerate the symptoms of mental or physical illness. They do so by contaminating urine samples, taking hallucinogens, injecting themselves with bacteria to produce infections, and other such similar behavior.
