News of Delusional Disorder Forum

Well, I've had some traumatic (on some level) events occur the past few years and they have been really difficult to deal with.

Around 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with depression and was put on an anti-depressant and saw a therapist regularly. After a year I was able to taper off my anti-depressant with the help of the dr until i wasn't on it anymore. When I first went on it, I felt like ...

For years now I've heard voices of people who don't want to talk to me. I don't know how to deal with this anymore. It's extremely threatening.
Do you still talk to the persons you hear voices of? Does it help?

Hi, first post so I guess I need to wait for Mod. to approve it before it goes up, that's okay, and thanks.

I have a question about P.D. I know and have been diagnosed as mildly paranoid and delusional. I'm okay with that, and most of the time I have a decent grasp of what is and what is not "real".

I'm 40, I am a sober Alcoholic, I recently moved in with my ...

I am not trying to diagnose my husband, but reading this forum has been the closest I can see to what I believe he's experiencing.
This is an email I have just sent to a private psychiatrist as I appear to be running out of options. I wondered if anyone on here had any luck getting professional help or had any advice for me?
Dear Sir/Madam

I need some urgent advice and I do not ...

To preface, this has never happened before, and he has never been diagnosed with anything (though he is somewhat severely depressed). I don't know if this is relevant, but he hit his head pretty hard a couple days ago, and was feeling dizzy and had fuzzy vision earlier in the evening.
Last night, over text, he confessed to me that two years ago he had accidentally killed my boyfriend John, who had attacked him because ...

Maybe this sounds odd. But here's the story.

My best friend is someone I met online. We've been friends for 7 years. But sometimes, when I get in a fight with my mom, and the fight gets really bad...Well, if I text/message my friend and she doesn't reply soon or quickly enough, I start thinking she hates me.

I never told her about my worries...until last week.

My mom had been really difficult. I got ...

I have a friend who has bipolar with psychosis. She believes that a celebrity is in love with her and when she is released from the psych ward (I personally don't think they will let her out) that she will message him and ask about his love for her. She thinks that he wishes to propose to her and is sending encoded messages via the TV and through presents that she has received. The first ...

I am feeling so sad and down today. My DDJ husband has been having an episode since Father's Day weekend, actually maybe longer, its hard to tell anymore as the episodes come closer together and last and last. We have been together 18 years, married 14 years, and I believe this disorder has affected him for at least the last 12-13 years. He was always very jealous and controlling, but I attributed that to issues ...

Hello,

This disorder has destroyed my life. I was brought up in a single parent family and my parent has it. I first noticed the symptoms when I was in early primary school, only then I didn't know that this was a delusion. So I believed everything that was said.

The disorder has resulted in the death of my only sibling, the loss of my physical and mental health, a life time of loneliness and ...

Hello all,

I was wondering if any of you can help me out. my husband is NOT diagnosed and won't entertain the idea of going to a doctor either. His symptoms are similar to rest of Persecutory DD but it seems it comes and goes and it is not that extreme as other described. Basically main things are he believes THEY are after him and there are cameras with audio everywhere in our apartment, cars, ...
