clinical like an trophy, is defined as a rare psychiatric syndrome that involves the delusion that the affected person can transform into has transformed into or as an animal. Its name is associated with the medical condition of like and trophy, a supernatural affliction in which humans are set to physically shape shift into wolves. It is purported to be a rare disorder. Affected individuals believed that they are into the process of transforming into an animal or have already transformed into an animal. It has been associated with the altered states of mind that accompany psychosis, the mental state that typically involves delusions and hallucinations. With the transformation only seeming to happen in the mind and behaviour of the affected person, a study on like and trophy from the McLean Hospital reported on a series of cases and proposed some diagnostic criteria by which, like and trophy could be recognised, a patient reports in a moment of lucidity or reminiscence that they sometimes feel as an animal or have felt like one. A patient behaves in a manner that resembles animal behaviour, for example, howling, growling and crawling according to these criteria, either a delusional belief in current of past transformation or behaviour does suggest a person thinks of themselves as transformed in considered evidence of clinical like an trophy. The authors note that although the condition seems to be an expression of psychosis, there is no specific diagnosis of mental or neurological illness associated with its behavioural consequences.
