What Is Delusional Disorder?
4. Erotomanic Type
It is often a good feeling to learn that somebody else has affectionate feelings towards you, and we might sometimes even daydream that that is the case. However, most of us will be well aware of the reality and not believe it to actually be true. The same can’t always be said for people with erotomanic type delusion order, however.
The disorder can cause people to genuinely believe that other people are in love with them, even in the absence of any evidence supporting the belief. This will often involve celebrities and other famous people. In some cases, the patient will stalk the other person, and will sometimes try to contact them directly.
