Sudden Wealth Syndrome

Feelings of depression, guilt, or alienation thought to be caused by earning a great deal of wealth in a short period of time. For example, if one purchases a stock that inexplicably skyrockets and makes one a millionaire overnight, one may begin to feel isolated from family or friends. Sudden wealth syndrome is not generally recognized as an actual disease.
