An addiction centre says the dynastic struggles of the TV show are indicative of struggles faced by powerful families
Succession
Paracelsus Recovery is an international centre in London and Zurich that offers medical help, therapy and counselling for up to $132,000 a week. It said almost 40% of their patients struggle with Succession syndrome – a term used to refer to a range of mental health conditions and addiction problems affecting children of extremely affluent households.
But according to Paracelsus, it is also indicative of the real-life afflictions faced by wealthy and powerful families like the Roys. While children of wealthy parents grow up with many privileges, Paracelsus said, many suffer from what psychiatrists have termedWealth, the centre added, made a person about 27% more likely to abuse alcohol, and narcissistic personality disorder was also common among patients.
“The success of Succession has highlighted the complicated and potentially damaging effects of coming from an extremely successful family. The Roy children are all very damaged individuals.”
