Abstract

Objectives: DELUSIONAL DISORDER is not a common psychotic disorder, often characterized by single and systematic delusions. The present study was designed to examine DELUSIONAL DISORDER in terms of epidemiology, symptomatology and, phenomenology, as well as its diagnostic features, which distinguish it from other mental disorders. Method: The subjects were 51 patients (34 male, 17 female, 45 hospitalized, and 6 out patients), who were diagnosed as suffering from DELUSIONAL DISORDER on the basis of DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. They were studied for a period of two years at Roozbeh Hospital. The data was collected through a 49 item questionnaire, a Wechsler IQ Test, and CT scans. Findings: The most prevalent delusions were found to be persecutory and JEALOUSY DELUSIONs (49.2% and 40.7% respectively). The average age for the onset of the disorder was about forty one. 20% of the patients were from low socio-economic conditions. In 45% of the cases, severe mental stress was noticed in the background. Traces of mental disorder in the family history, organic disease, and substance abuse were estimated to be 30%. Results: The pattern of DELUSIONAL DISORDER in this study seems not to be much different from that of similar studies.
