News of Delusional Disorder Forum

I watched Larry King tonight. He had what was supposedly a mental health show. One of the younger Kennedy politicians, and 2 comedians. Drugs and alcohol is their problem. Below is a copy of a feedback note I sent to CNN:


On tonights (6/22/07) Larry King show a segment regarding mental health covered only drug and alcohol abuse. That is important, but you (he) left out a more important aspect of mental health, namely manic ...

I have recently decided enough is enough. After 20+ years of the delusions, repeated periods of on and off medication, now off again, I have to do something. I have a family member with DD who has been off meds for about 5 years now. I am no longer the target of the delusions, another family member is. But now I have kids and my family member is so out of control that she constantly ...

Hi All.
I have only posted once but read the threads here on a regular basis. My husband left October last year because he could not cope with the fact that I had betrayed him (jealousy) with some many other men, our two daugters were not his etc.etc. I have been through hell over the last months and did ask him back around Christmas, his reply was he couldn't live with me, I wasn't the ...

Your input and especially personal experience will be highly appreciated...

Should I tell my DD husband I'll be seeing a lawyer to discuss potential child custody/separation/divorce? Note that from I have seen so far, this information will not in any way affect his readiness to accept that he has a problem or accept evaluation/treatment and in fact it will be seen as hostile act on my side, i.e. something "they" put me up to and ...

I guess this is not exactly OT... Does anyone have any tips on job search for people with DD, and I would especially appreciate hearing from few people *with* DD.

I am desperately trying to get my husband to start seriously looking for work. While it is obvious things are stacked against him (couple of years employment gap, lousy attitude, DD which is not under control) I think he would definitely benefit from getting a ...

According to my wife, I am Gay and so are many people I work with. Of course I'm not gay and neither are the people I work with.

She also accused me, in the past, of consorting with prostitutes which, I never did. She had absolutely no reason to believe this except to say that this is what men do.

My wife floored me one day when she accused me of going to a gay ...

I would really appreciate your thoughts on particular aspect I am currently dealing with: openly hostile in-law family members.

At this point, my husband's family essentially completely washed their hands off him. Now, mind you, this is something I could understand, except for the fact that they did not make any effort to actually talk to him face to face and for the fact that they are pretty much seeing his illness as the result ...

I can only describe this as rollercoaster ride time...

Couple of days ago, he had another, shall we say, anti-Hallmark moment. He picked me up after work as usual, and during the drive to the supermarket he did start on "I should get a decent job, and if only I could find another wife" theme. I replied with minimal emotional involvement that maybe he should do that, but he cannot expect that someone will show ...

Sooo, he is getting the DNA test done on our son on Thursday. Ok, fine, whatever! He got the birth cert. today and his brother is going with him tomorrow to get it done. He is getting it done through a lab, no clue what one, and the cost is upward of $500. My MIL, because my FIL was DDTJ, is paying for it because she doesn't want her grandbaby damanged by his delusions.

So, ...

I have been wondering for a long time if the person w/ DD jealousy can go on to have a successful relationship with another person. Meaning, is it to do specificialy only with their primary relationship at the time the disorder appears? Something about the interaction between him and I and the timing? I have looked at everything I can read on this disorder, and have never found it addressed anywhere. From what I see ...
