Article Synopsis
- Delusional parasitosis is a psychotic disorder where individuals believe they are infested with parasites, while shared paranoid disorder (folie à deux) occurs when two closely related people share similar delusions.
- A case study involving a married couple revealed that the husband experienced sensations and beliefs about parasites, leading to the wife also developing similar symptoms, indicating a shared delusion.
- Treatment included medications like sertraline and risperidone, but due to side effects and financial constraints, the husband's condition required adjustments, and separating the couple's sleeping arrangements significantly alleviated the wife's symptoms.
