Mother Teresa Syndrome

1. Mental health condition suffered by the overly religious whereby the religious, actively deny treatment or medications to facilitate increased suffering.

2. The imposition of suffering, denial of treatment, or services, to those who you are responsible to care for with the expressed intent of increasing misery or hastening death. (see betrayal trauma)

3. The imposition of religious beliefs to increase suffering in the efforts to elicit pleasure in the person denying, or reserving access to treatment or services.

When I presented the case for a need for an antidepressant to my doctor, after my mom died, he got all 'Mother Teresa Syndrome" on me and said, "You need to experience this without drugs so you can grieve properly."

Get the Mother Teresa Syndrome mug.

Therese Christensen

a cute famous norwegian stand up comedian who tells jokes while she is on a big boat. people are traveling with the boat just to see Therese. she tells all types of jokes, but she has a dry humor and most of the jokes are kind of dry. another reason to take the boat is that Therese is a girl who everybody likes and you just have to smile when she is around

omg i wish i was just as funny as Therese Christensen
