Detailed explanation-1: -Shared psychotic disorder (folie à deux) is a rare disorder characterized by sharing a specific delusion among two or more people in a close relationship. The inducer (primary) who has a psychotic disorder with delusions influences another individual or more (induced, secondary) based on a delusional belief.
Detailed explanation-2: -In general, both persons will act paranoid, fearful, and suspicious of others. They will also become defensive or angry if their delusions are challenged. Those with grandiose delusions might appear euphoric. The primary person in the relationship will not recognize that they are making the other person ill.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shared psychotic disorders usually happen only in long-term relationships in which the person who has the psychotic disorder is dominant and the other person is passive. These pairs tend to have a close emotional connection to each other. But apart from that, they usually don’t have strong social ties.
Detailed explanation-4: -The commonest diagnosis in the primary is a Delusional disorder followed by schizophrenia and affective disorder 12.
