News of Delusional Disorder Forum

Over the past 10 years, an old college friend of mine has been e-mailing me from across the country, alluding to aspects of her delusion, which centers around her belief that the ten-years-younger son of her former pastor is in love with her but won't come out profess this to her. This family has not been in her life for a long time now, but she is sure that they (I think they live on ...

I have probobly had dd for about 10 years. I believed I was being stalked, my house and car were bugged and people were playing songs on the radio specifically to mess with my head. That my life was broadcast to anyone who wanted to listen to it. And let me tell all the family members, it is hard as hell believing all that for so long. Although I tried to keep my boys (now ...

My family has been dysfunctional for years and years - in fact, as long as I can remember. Last year I started to read about Delusional Disorder and it was like a lightbulb going on. My mother has been being'persecuted' by prowlers all my life. She makes constant phone-calls to Police and has caused a lot of trouble by accusing neighbours of prowling in almost every house she has ever lived in. Otherwise, she is ...

Wow, Its good to know I am not alone.
My wife for 20yrs has been diagnosed with DD a couple years ago but this has been going on for more than 10 yrs.
Started with leaving our daughter (only child) at JK and then coming back saying people were taking pickures, spreading rumours, plotting spying. Everyone was involved from school staff, parents etc. She would be frantic at times and blame me for not doing ...

I've been reading through the posts here, and I noticed that just about everyone with a spouse with delusional disorder is divorced, or going through a divorce.

Is this because of the disorder? Does it have that high of a divorce rate?

I asked my husband, and he swore he would never leave me no matter what (Suuure...) but he did say "You don't understand how frustrating it was..."

Sooo, if your spouse (or yourself) ...

I just discovered this discussion forum and think it is so great....reading through all of the postings makes it clear that more people suffer from delusional disorder than I ever would have guessed.

This is my first posting, and I write it with sadness and frustration. So many stories are along the same lines, but I just need to vent to someone outside of my family! My 55 year old mother began having delusions about ...

Pretty sure my brother has DD. There's no way in hell to get him to go to a doctor...he trusts no one and it seems to be getting worse. How do you convince some who has this disorder that they need help??? I was thinking of telling him that I know someone who had the same problems as him. People following him, bugging his car, trying to poison him..etc. and he went to the doctor ...

I have been married for 4 years now to a wonderful man, but through these four years, he has accused me of cheating on him over one hundred times. These delusions have at times been so real to him that he called me names and was prepared to confront the man he thought I was with. He in not comfortable leaving me alone or having me go somewhere alone. Every time, without fail he assumes ...

Hi All,

I am really wary about starting a new topic about psychiatric forensics, but it may help others in the future and it helps me to talk about the process... so here goes!

Our first session was Tuesday morning when the doctor met with myself and my wife. The psychiatrist is a very sharp, no-nonsense kind of guy who won't let you make vague statements. He demands specifics and details. I have not yet ...
