People with Achilles syndrome, popularly known as the so-called competence syndrome, usually tries to prove that they are always successful in their environment. People who cover up their flaws while trying to look perfect often resort to false or false information. Underlying this psychological problem lies the fear of not being able to experience the pleasure of success. Fear always leads one to error. This situation, which the person has made a habit after a while without realizing it, actually leads to a bad end. Even if there is no reaction from his environment, he experiences a mental breakdown. Among the psychological disorders, it is actually an increasing health problem today. Especially the increase of companies and the metropolitan life in crowded environment cause the person to quickly fall into this sensitivity. It reflects the person who is not covered by the flaws.

Achilles, one of the prominent heroes in ancient Greek mythology, was always believed to be invincible. However, according to the rumors, Achilles, who has an indestructible perfect personality, is bathed in the river of immortality. While his mother washed him here, his heel was always out. Therefore, it was thought that if he was shot in the heel, he would die. Even in the scientific literature, the tentons on the heel in human anatomy are therefore called Achilles as it is read. Petruska Clarkson, an important scientist who studies the syndrome of people trying to look perfect in psychology, therefore gave this syndrome this name.

Clarkson, who conducted research on Achilles syndrome, reminded that psychological problems occur in the family environment where personality is formed. It occurs in children who have been brought up perfectly and who are constantly asked to exhibit these attitudes. It is said that if the child who tries to increase his success with pressure is not perfect after a while, or he will not be anywhere in a successful society. In addition, in some school settings, teachers are not asked to constantly put responsibility and make mistakes on students during their education. In such cases, it may cause the child to have a syndrome. Especially in professional life, the person reflects this to his job. A person who constantly sees himself as faultless does not accept his mistakes. It has been found that in most of the cases, they are quickly excluded in social settings. While trying to cover up his mistakes in society, he takes out his failure from others. Nowadays, Achilles syndrome is considered together with professional burnout.

He is constantly in panic and tries to speak by shouting. - Ignores the mistakes made and tries to attribute the mistakes to different people. It is generally seen in higher ranks. - The moment he feels unsuccessful, he may be in withdrawal. - The syndrome brings with it personality disorder. - When he speaks in the environment, he has difficulty in distinguishing between right and wrong. - Their speech is imprecise.

Clarkson says the simplest way to get rid of this disease is to accept that the person is sick. Understanding that weakness is a human condition, he is asked to be honest with himself by participating in collective therapies, as the lies or mistakes he uses lead him to different places. In this syndrome, which can be solved with therapy rather than medication, it is important to resolve the feeling of fear.
