Celebrity Worship Syndrome is when a person becomes completely obsessed with the details of a celebrity’s’ life. Lately, this generation has been very possessed by celebrities and everything that revolves around them including their actions, daily routines, what they like and dislike, whom they’ve been with, and what so. The term Celebrity Worship Syndrome (also known as “CWS”) first appeared in an article ‘Do you worship the celebs’ by James Chapman, which later on drove scientists to do experiments on people that obsess over celebrities. Scientists such as John Maltby (2004) came to a conclusion that intense personal celebrity worship was associated with poorer mental health, and particularly with poorer general health, such as depression, anxiety, somatic symptoms, and social dysfunction. There are three different classifications of celebrity worship. Firstly, entertainment-social dimension which is a case where a person considers the celebrity as a good source of entertainment and appreciates the celebrity. Secondly, intense-personal in which the person has intensive and serious feelings towards the celebrity. Lastly, borderline-pathological and starts when the person starts fantasizing and obsessing uncontrollably on a celebrity. Once the person reaches stage (II) & (III) he is considered to have a psychological disorder, therefore, the person should search for treatments. Solutions have been found, as such; the book Overcoming Celebrity Obsession by Diane Saks teaches you ways to heal yourself throughout two consecutive phases.
