Isn't it possible this person was suffering from Inflated Self-esteem Syndrome?   At our house, there is a constant competition to imagine the worst-case scenarios rather than interesting opportunities.   My expertise in that area doesn't focus so much on health issues, but on potential sequences of negative events that are inevitable attractors.   To counter the other, I'm in the habit of attaching `syndrome' to every possible condition --  empty stomach syndrome, neurotransmitter depletion syndrome, achy knee syndrome, and so on.    It usually is not appreciated.
