The condition of believing oneself to be a celebrity is known as "celebrity worship syndrome" (CWS). CWS is a psychological disorder that involves an obsessive and unhealthy focus on the lives and perceived lifestyles of celebrities. This disorder is often characterized by a feeling of intense admiration for one or more celebrities, a desire to imitate their behaviors, and a need to obtain information about their latest activities. People with this disorder may also experience feelings of envy and disappointment if they are unable to obtain what they desire from a celebrity.

The phenomenon you are asking about is known as celebrity worship syndrome (CWS). It is a psychological disorder characterized by an obsessive admiration of celebrities and an intense need to be associated with them. People with CWS often have an unrealistic sense of entitlement and overestimate their own importance in the world. They may also exhibit signs of grandiosity, envy, and entitlement, as well as an inability to differentiate between reality and fantasy. CWS can sometimes lead to dangerous or reckless behavior, and can be very damaging to both the individual and society. Treatment typically involves cognitive behavioral therapy, and medication may be used in cases of severe CWS.

When someone believes they are a celebrity, this is known as grandiose delusions. This type of delusion is characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, believing they are famous, powerful, or have an outsized influence on events in the world. Grandiose delusions can also involve the belief that they have special abilities or relationships with famous people. This type of delusion is most commonly associated with bipolar or psychotic disorders. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication, psychotherapy, and family support.

When a person believes they are a celebrity, it is referred to as Celebrity Worship Syndrome (CWS). CWS is a form of mental illness in which an individual is preoccupied with celebrities, typically to an irrational or excessive degree. Individuals with CWS may go to great lengths to imitate the behavior, appearance, and lifestyle of their chosen celebrity, sometimes to the point of causing themselves psychological distress.
The behaviors associated with CWS can vary from person to person, but typically include a fixation on celebrity gossip, a tendency to purchase items associated with the celebrity, or an attempt to imitate their chosen celebrity’s behavior or lifestyle. In some cases, individuals with CWS may go so far as to attempt to make contact with their chosen celebrity or become overly invested in their personal life.
CWS is believed to be a form of escapism: individuals may use the lives of celebrities as a way of avoiding their own reality. It can also be seen as an attempt to gain a sense of belonging, validation, and even power by associating themselves with a celebrity.
The condition is often associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and depression. Treatment for Celebrity Worship Syndrome typically includes psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and medication.
