- Delusional disorder: a case of jealousy Patriccia Andressa Bevilacqua Medicina jealousy Mental disorders domestic violence Delusional disorder is a rare psychiatric condition characterised by the presence of delusions of erotomania, persecution, jealousy, grandeur and somatic delusions. It has an insidious onset and tends to become chronic, altering behaviour, affecting the individual?s functionality and compromising interpersonal relationships. The etiology is unknown, the diagnosis is made clinically based on DSM-V or ICD-10 criteria and the treatment currently available provides a limited response. In general, patients do not recognise the disorder, do not seek medical attention and have poor adherence to treatment. The clinical case presented is of a middle-aged man with a Delusional Disorder of the celotypic type directed at his wife, which gradually compromises the patient?s quality of life and puts the family at risk; his response to the atypical antipsychotic was partial, but with considerable improvement in family coexistence. The importance of this clinical case lies in the fact that it is a pathology that is not very prevalent and less well known by health professionals or other related disciplines, in addition to the fact that there are no publications in the field on the subject; it is therefore necessary to publicise cases like this, providing information for early diagnosis with timely treatment, in order to improve the long-term prognosis and quality of life of the patient, in addition to preventing criminal behaviour, with possible fatal outcomes. 2020 artículo científico 1012-2966 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=445674705032 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674705032/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674705032/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674705032/445674705032.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674705032/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4456 Gaceta Médica Boliviana application/pdf Universidad Mayor de San Simón Gaceta Médica Boliviana (Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia) Num.2 Vol.43
