◦ PPS is a psychological condition that is used to describe an adult who is socially immature.

◦ People who develop similar behaviours of living life carefree, finding responsibilities challenging in adulthood, and basically never growing up suffer from PPS.

◦ The term was coined by psychologist Dan Kiley to explain the behaviour of such men who ‘refuse to grow’ and behave their age in 1983.

• Dan Kiley got the idea of PPS after noticing Peter Pan, a fictional character created by Scottish novelist James Matthew Barrie.

• Peter Pan was a care-free young boy, who never grew up.

◦ While the WHO does not recognise Peter Pan Syndrome as a health disorder, many experts believe it is a mental health condition that can affect one’s quality of life.

Wendy Syndrome
The Psychologist who defined PPS also used the term Wendy Syndrome (WS) to describe women who act like mothers with their partners or people close to them.

People suffering from WS are often seen making decisions, tidying up messes, and offering one-sided emotional support.
