Delusional Disorder Delusional Disorder The central feature of delusional disorder (previously called paranoid disorder ) is the presence of one or more false beliefs that persist for at least 1 month. Delusions tend to be nonbizarre and involve situations that could occur, such as being followed, poisoned, infected, loved at a distance, or deceived by one's spouse or lover. In contrast to schizophrenia, delusional disorder is relatively uncommon. Onset generally occurs in middle or late adult life. Psychosocial functioning is not as impaired as it is in schizophrenia, and impairments usually arise directly from the delusional belief. Several subtypes of delusional disorder are recognized. In the erotomanic subtype, the patient believes that another person is in love with him. Efforts to contact the object of the delusion through telephone calls, letters, surveillance, or stalking are common. Persons with this subtype may have conflicts with the law related to this behavior. In the grandiose subtype, the patient believes he has a great talent or has made an important discovery. In the

Extractions: Contact Us People with Borderline Personality Disorder Speak Out Caution: These letters include triggering material. I've always felt in the way, and apologetic for the nuisance I seemed to be. Deep down I hate myself. Halfway down I'm pretty egotistical. I expect things to go bad and they often do. But it scares me more when things go good. They're going to realize I'm a fraud and take back the praise, the friendship so I'll be nobody again, put in my place. Socially I'm young, maybe going on 13. I go from submissive to attack mode with little warning. When I think I'm justified, I'm usually in the wrong. It is ridiculous, at 37, to be relying on kindergarten etiquette. Will you be my friend? Grow up, Sherry Jo. If you have to ask, you're too desperate. Too needy, too clingy and who needs that? Friendship hurts, love hurts and I already hurt bad enough. Most of the time I'm ashamed to be me. I wish I was tougher and didn't care so much. When I'm angry I don't feel ashamed. I feel good.

Extractions: The Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD) Essential Feature The essential feature of the paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is a pattern of pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others; the motives of others are interpreted as malevolent. The suspiciousness may be expressed by overt argumentativeness, recurrent complaining, or hostile aloofness. While individuals with a paranoid personality disorder may appear "e;cold,"e; objective, and rational, they more frequently display hostile, stubborn, and sarcastic affect. They may form negative stereotypes of others and join cults or groups with others who share their paranoid beliefs (DSM IV, 1994, pp. 634-635). The ICD-!0 (1994, pp. 224-225) describes the paranoid personality disorder as characterized by:
