Abstract:

This article presents data on the phenomenology of delusions of persecution and poisoning in patients with schizophrenia and determines parallels between sociodemographic status and personal religiosity and this type of delusions. We have studied the content of delusions in patients with schizophrenia looking for persecution and poisoning themes using Fragebogen fuer psychotische Symptome (FPS). A total of 295 patients suffering from schizophrenia participated in this study; 74.7% reported delusions of persecution. The proportion of female patients (81.9%) who felt persecuted was almost one-th

Abstract:

The Delusional disorder is uncommon, accounting for 2–8% of all hospital admissions for non-organic psychotic disorder and is usually initiated after the third decade of life. It is characterized primarily by one or more non-bizarre delusions, and according to the content of delusions, can be divided into five subtypes: persecution, jealousy, erotomanic, somatic and grandeur.We present a case of a patient with Jealousy Delusional Disorder and discuss the main difficulties that arise in the differential diagnosis and treatment.In the differential diagnosis is essential to eliminate the patholog

Abstract:

Background. It has been proposed that delusions of persecution are caused by the tendency to over-attribute malevolent intentions to other people's actions. One aspect of intention attribution is detecting contingencies between an agent's actions and intentions. Here, we used simplified stimuli to test the hypothesis that patients with persecutory delusions over-attribute contingency to agents' movements.Method. Short animations were presented to three groups of subjects: (1) schizophrenic patients; (2) patients with affective disorders; and (3) normal control subjects. Patients were divided o

The content and structure of delusions were compared in 30 women and 30 age-matched men with Shizophrenic Disorder. Men showed an excess of homosexual persecutory delusions and of grandiose delusions involving social status and personal power. Women showed an excess of delusions of fertility and of jealousy, and were more often than men objects rather than subjects in their grandiose delusions. There was an excess of women who reported co-objects of persecution, and who personally knew their persecutors, nearly always men.

Abstract:

As cosmopoets we create our world - but we do not create our world independently from our surroundings. What we are doing is not a poetry work in the sense of arbitrary inventions, but an attempt to transfer extensively and intensively psychical processes into communicable events. Patients suffering from delusions are also cosmopoets, they also create their world. It is a more or less understandable world, it is a world which is more or less similar to the world of the non-deluded, and it is a world which on the one hand terrorizes the patient but on the other hand attracts the patient by its

SUMMARYProminent figures are frequently subjected to unwanted and intrusive attentions. Such stalking behaviour is often driven by psychotic illness, angrily blaming the public figure for delusional persecution (resentful motivation), or based on erotomanic delusions (intimacy seeking motivation), for example. This behaviour can cause psychological harm to both perpetrator and victim, and is unlawful. In the rare instances where a public figure has been attacked, the perpetrator has usually had a history of such stalking behaviour and of severe mental illness. For these reasons, early identifi

Abstract:

Background and purposeDandy Walker “syndrome” (DWS) was firstly defined by Dandy and Blackfan, and then described by Hart et al. [1] as a series of neurodevelopmental anomalies in the posterior fossa, including Dandy-Walker (DW) malformation, DW variant (cerebellar hypoplasia/aplasia of the cerebellar vermis and cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle), mega-cisterna magna and posterior fossa arachnoid cyst. Mental symptoms have been associated with DWS in previous reports, but the spectrum of mental symptomatology widely varies between clinical cases, ranging from psychotic/schizophrenia-li

Abstract:

Immigrants have a heightened risk of developing schizophrenia, suggesting that social factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. This study aimed to examine the relationship between degrees of social defeat and themes of delusion in patients with schizophrenia from immigrant and ethnic minority backgrounds. Retrospective chart review was conducted. Patients’ psychosocial history, particularly employment history, level of education, and subjective feelings of societal integration before and after immigration, were compared to determine the degree of social defeat.

Abstract:

The Fregoli delusion is one of a number of misidentification syndromes. It is characterised by a patient recognising a familiar person, usually seen as a persecutor, in various strangers who, although they do not show physical resemblance, are believed to be psychologically identical to the familiar person. It usually occurs in the context of a schizophrenic illness but has been reported in affective disorders and organic psycho-syndromes (Förstl et al, 1991). It was first described by the French authors Courbon & Fail in 1927, who used the term ‘Fregoli illusion’ after the Italian actor w

Abstract:

Introduction:Induced delusional disorder (also known as shared paranoid disorder or folie à deux) is an uncommon disturbance characterized by the presence of similar psychotic symptoms in two or more individuals. Most commonly a primary case can be distinguished from other one or more cases, in whom the symptoms are induced. the patients implied in the shared delusional symptoms are frequently linked by close relationship bonds, mostly family ties. Its epidemiology remains unclear, because very few data is available. There are some requirements concerning the persons involved for the developme

Abstract:

The illicit influx of William Tyndale’s vernacular New Testament and other reforming works into England in the late 1520s was considered an affront to the ecclesiastical authorities and an encouragement to lay heretical thought. No one was more vitriolic in condemnation than Thomas More, the lawyer-turned-polemicist, who was to become Chancellor from 1529. He declared, ‘Nothynge more detesteth then these pestylent bokes that Tyndale and suche other sende in to the realme, to sette forth here theyr abomynable heresyes.’ As Chancellor, More was renowned for his zealous persecution of heretics an

Abstract Background Genetic findings imply a role of the immune system in the complex psychopathology of schizophrenia, and elevated serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines have been found in patients. Altered levels of cytokines are linked to severe depression and cognitive dysfunction, both of which are common among patients suffering from schizophrenia. Depression is important to diagnose in this patient population as consequences of untreated depression can be severe. In this study we will investigate if the level and change of immune markers in blood are related to depression in patien

Abstract:

Abstract Background Many patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) do not fully respond to antipsychotic (AP) treatment despite adherence and require augmentation, often with an AP with similar mode of action. Evidence supporting polypharmacy is limited and adding another AP increases associated risks of adverse effects, including extrapyramidal symptoms and cardiometabolic disturbances. Pimavanserin (PIM) is a highly selective serotonin 5-HT2A inverse agonist/antagonist approved for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease psychosis.

Abstract Background Schizophrenia is a serious illness and treatment with antipsychotic drugs remains one of the most effective types of treatment. The course of schizophrenia, however, is highly heterogeneous and currently it is not possible to predict which patient will respond adequately to which antipsychotic drug. The aim of our study was to define trajectories regarding response to antipsychotic drug treatment in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. A second aim was to evaluate demographic factors and antipsychotic drugs as predictors for the different trajectories. Methods Be

Hypersensitivity to electricity (EHS) is a self-defined syndrome where individuals experience symptoms while using or being in the proximity of equipment or devices that use electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields. We present the case of a 45-year-old patient who received an EHS diagnosis several years ago. This patient was first sent to us for hospitalization in the psychiatric ward with mystic delusions and secondary behavior disorders. He had no remarkable psychiatric history and the thorough somatic examinations performed showed no anomaly. The EHS had first appeared 10 years ago with
