Impostor syndrome is not, in the United States, a recognized clinical diagnosis. By which I mean that Impostor Syndrome does not appear in the DSM, it does not have standard treatment, and no licensed mental health professional ought to offer it as a diagnosis to a client/patient. Clinical standards regarding mental health may be different in other countries, but given that Impostor Syndrome requires a high socio-economic status I would not be surprised if Impostor Syndrome were absent from other reputable standards of clinical practice.
