Imposter Syndrome

by Alike Medical Team ∙ Updated on June 13, 2023

General

Impostor syndrome is an internal experience of believing that you as a person are not as competent as others perceive him to be, as if you are a fraud. Despite being a "syndrome," it is not a diagnosable mental illness. Instead, the term is usually narrowly applied to intelligence and achievement, although it also has links to perfectionism and the social context.
