Matrix Syndrome is a mental disorder in which the illusion of our constructed reality is shattered usually through redpills. Suffers generally contract this disorder through research of how our ancestors lived, and how we are meant to live. Symptoms include hopelessness, depression, feeling as if the sufferer is mentally ill or everyone else around them is, the feeling that everything in the world is fake, and total disconnection from popular culture.
This syndrome seems to primarily affect Millennials and Generation Z, specifically males. It is currently unknown whether it affects females of the same age group or members of other age groups.
Current experimental treatments include talking with like-minded people (primarily other sufferers of Matrix Syndrome or people sympathetic) and homesteading.
While similar to being what is called "blackpilled" (where all hope is lost) the key difference is the hopefulness a person suffering from Matrix Syndrome feels if things go back to a previous way of life.
The name Matrix Syndrome was chosen as a reference to the 1999 film 'The Matrix' where the main character becomes "awake" to the fact that his reality is constructed through a red pill. The illusion of the false reality is shattered leading to the events of the film.
