What Are the Treatments for Delusional Disorder Jealous Type DSM IV 297.1?
Delusional disorder is a psychotic mental illness characterized by one or more false beliefs. The beliefs are non-bizarre, meaning that they involve scenarios that could possibly be true, but aren’t. Someone suffering from delusional disorder of the jealousy type believes his romantic partner is being sexually unfaithful. He often believes that there are numerous, ongoing sexual infidelities. This unfounded belief must be present for at least one month in order to be diagnosed as a delusional disorder, explains the Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders. Some patients improve with treatment.
