# Wealth Psychology Shrinks For Affluenza, Sudden Wealth Sydrome By Ben Preiss | Published 2007-10-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wealth-psychology References: [washingtonpost](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/09/AR2007100900505.html) & [affluenza-and-wealth](http://www.affluenza-and-wealth.com/AFF_articles.html) A growing number of millionaires are turning to an equally growing number of [psychologists specializing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychotherapy-unlimited) in [Wealth Psychology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuakua) which can be defined as, "Issues surrounding Wealth and Affluenza such as [sudden wealth syndrome](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pie-society), health and wealth and the psychology of success." The one certain thing is that more psychologists will be joining the list of millionaires as a result of this trend. Will they be immune to the debilitating affects of SWS and Affluenza? We can only hope. This story has really touched my heart and I promise to begin soliciting donations for those suffering from the horrible affects of wealth. Please join me in my campaign for the over-privileged, because they don't really have everything (you still have some stuff). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wealth Psychology:** Exploring the psychological impact of wealth and affluenza, such as sudden wealth syndrome and the psychology of success. - **Mental Health Services for the Wealthy:** The growing demand for psychologists specializing in wealth psychology to address the unique challenges faced by the affluent. - **Rise of Millionaire Psychologists:** The increasing number of psychologists becoming millionaires by catering to the specific needs of the wealthy. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Psychology Services:** Opportunity for psychologists to specialize in wealth psychology and offer counseling and therapy tailored to affluent clients. - **Wealth Management:** Incorporating wealth psychology services as part of wealth management strategies to address the psychological well-being of high-net-worth individuals. - **Luxury Lifestyle Services:** Expanding luxury service offerings to include psychological support and counseling for wealthy clients dealing with affluenza and sudden wealth syndrome. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Psychologist-Designed Educational Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therapeutic-games.md) - [Business Wealth Advisor Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wealth-advisor.md) - [Positive Affirmation Decals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mental-health-awareness-campaign.md) - [Comforting Financial Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experian.md) - [Mental Health-Focused Athlete Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/professional-tennis-players-association.md) - [Supportive Mental Wellness Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saks-fifth-avenue-foundation.md) - [Personalized Psychiatry Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychiatry-services.md) - [Stress Reduction Finance Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moneycoach-app.md) - [Psychology Skill Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/think-like-a-shrink.md)
