What is this?

Chronic Plant-Parent Delusion is a chronic behavioral condition cataloged by the Institute. It is not recognized by the DSM-5, the ICD-11, or any existing diagnostic framework β€” and will not be, because it is not a real condition.

In the Institute's formal nomenclature, this condition is catalogued under the Latin binomial Succulentus parentalis exaggerata β€” a name not recognized by any medical authority but observed repeatedly in the catalog.
