Dr. Fusar-Poli has also performed research on the Truman Syndrome, with its symptoms are found before and during the onset of severe mental disorders such as psychosis and schizophrenia.[14] He has suggested that the "Truman explanation" is a result of the patients' search for meaning in their perception that the ordinary world has changed in some significant but inexplicable way.[15][16][17]
