Jealousy can ruin even the strongest relationships. This feeling poisons the life of both the jealous person and his partner. However, with the help of working on yourself, you can get rid of this negative emotion, in contrast to the delusions of jealousy.
Common jealousy and suspicion can be dealt with through self-training, self-belief, self-esteem, building trust between partners, or by switching from obsessive thoughts to other things. But there are times when jealousy goes beyond all limits and becomes a mental disorder in the form of delirium. In this case, a person cannot cope with this misfortune on his own, and he needs to be treated.
Pathology
When jealousy turns into pathology, the delusions of jealousy appear. Men are especially susceptible to it, moreover, alcohol abusers. Delirium of jealousy can appear in the stronger sex in adulthood who have problems with their sex life against the background of a passion for alcoholic beverages, including if alcoholism is heredity. But this pathology is also found in the fair sex.
In such cases, a man or woman begins to groundlessly accuse his partner or partner of being unfaithful. At first, this occurs only in a state of intoxication, but gradually turns into a form of pathology. Attacks of jealousy can be very dangerous. In a state of passion, a man can not only cause a scandal, but also cause physical harm to his woman.
It happens that a partner also takes the life of an innocent spouse.
It is not known what guides the individual in the delirium of jealousy. Sometimes he has absolutely no reason to suspect his partner of infidelity. Accusing a woman of treason, a man can bring completely insane evidence and far-fetched facts. Despite such unconvincing argumentation, the jealous person is sure that he is being deceived.
Treatment
Due to the fact that a person in the grip of a delusion of jealousy loses all control over himself and becomes unable to critically relate to his own behavior, treatment should be carried out in a hospital setting.
To eliminate this pathology, first of all, the patient should be relieved of alcohol dependence. In the fight against delirium of jealousy, psychotropic drugs such as antipsychotics help. They are prescribed depending on the condition of the person.
Although these drugs can be used on an outpatient basis, it is still better to place the patient in a hospital, under the supervision of a doctor.
The doctor studies how acute the patient's condition is, observes the severity of the symptoms. You should also check whether the mentally unhealthy person has such comorbidities as depression or various manias.
If the delirium of jealousy develops along negative dynamics, the person is prescribed a combined treatment with the use of antipsychotics and antidepressants. Treatment can be considered successful if the patient completely gets rid of the delusions of jealousy.
