#7 "Glorious" Bobby Roode, Grandiose Delusions/God Complex

There is no bigger fan of Bobby Roode than Bobby Roode himself, a key characteristic of those suffering from a God Complex. The God Complex is a subset of the Grandiose Delusions syndrome, a form of dementia where the patient is convinced they are some sort of great figure.

Some believe they are the reincarnation of a famous person, while others think they are actually a deity. Roode belongs to the latter category, seeing himself as a saviour-figure who will elevate his flock by his mere presence.

Treatment

Depending on the cause of the GDS, there are several options available, including drugs and psychotherapy. However, sufferers of Grandiose Delusions are some of the hardest mental patients to treat.

This is because of their belief that they are smarter and better than everyone else, so they certainly aren't going to listen to a doctor. Like many with the illness, Roode seems to be helped more than hindered by his condition, giving him great confidence and self-esteem. It is likely he would not be treated or would refuse treatment if offered.
