******A messiah complex (also known as the Christ complex or savior complex) is a state of mind in which an individual holds a belief that they are destined to become a savior. The term can also refer to a state of mind in which an individual believes that he or she is responsible for saving or assisting others.

The term is not addressed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, as it is not a clinical term nor diagnosable disorder, however, the symptoms of the disorder closely resemble those found in individuals suffering from grandiose delusions.

This form of delusional belief is most often reported in patients suffering from
bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Amen.
