Messiah Complex
A messiah complex is a state of mind in which the individual believes he/she is, or is destined to become, a savior. Many, although not all, people who have a so-called messiah complex often are suffering from some form of schizophrenia.

In this case of course, the definition up there is not necessary. In this case, we would just define Messiah Complex as someone that just cannot turn down a distress call.
House once called Wilson a person with a Messiah Complex, just so we are clear..Wilson is the person on the LEFT and House is the person on the RIGHT.
So why is it that some people just can't turn down a distress call?? Is it because they have nothing better to do?? Is it because they just have to help?? Is it because they just want to be accepted?? or maybe they are just plain nice..no matter what the reason is good or bad..more often than not I believe people like that are actually good at helping others but not themselves.
On screen, Wilson always seems to be the person with all the answers to House's whims and always know what do to or tell House, but when it comes to himself being in a limbo, he usually can't help himself, even if it is the simplest thing.
Another good example is Hank Azaria in his short lived TV Series Huff, a fucked up shrink that knows what to tell others, but not himself.
If by any chance you have a friend like that, pay a little more attention and you will come to realise that he/she SERIOUSLY cant help him/herself when it matters
