Denpa (電波), also denpa-kei (電波系) or denpa-san (電波さん)
- a Japanese term for individuals or persons who may feel disconnected from reality or dissociated from the people around them. A Truman Show delusion, also known as Truman syndrome, is a type of delusion in which the person believes that their life is a staged reality show, or that they are being watched on cameras. The term was coined in 2008 on film boards by brothers Joel Gold and Ian Gold, a psychiatrist and a neurophilosopher, respectively, after the 1998 film The Truman Show.
The Truman Show delusion is not officially recognized nor listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association.[1] may entertain wild fantasies and persecutory delusions or other strong beliefs, and their speech or actions may seem strange or incoherent to outside observers.
It could also be described as Japanese society's view on Otaku who have schizophrenic disorders, maladaptative daydreaming disorder or paranoia
