What Is Delusional Disorder?
10. Treatment
Treatment for delusional disorder will typically involve medication. This will usually involve antipsychotics that will help to block dopamine receptors that are located in the brain. Dopamine is a type of hormone that is thought to be behind the development of delusions in many cases.
In addition to medication, the patient will also likely undergo therapy sessions. Therapy sessions can be very effective in helping the patient to live with their condition. The patient can learn to identify the warning signs of relapses, and to take action to prevent relapses from happening. Therapy can also help the patient to manage their symptoms better.
