Belief that one is responsible for assisting others
This article is about the state of mind. For the television series, see Savior Complex (TV series).
In psychology, a savior complex is an attitude and demeanor in which a person believes they are responsible for assisting other people.[1] A person with a savior complex will often experience empathic episodes and commit to impulsive decisions such as volunteering, donating, or advocating for a cause.[2] A person with the complex will usually make an attempt to assist or continue to assist even if they are not helpful or are detrimental to the situation, others, or themselves.[3]
