Dutch Auntie's heavy methamphetamine use undoubtedly has a major influence on his rapidly declining mental health. The combination of heavy ETOH and methamphetamine use and TDS has destroyed Dutch Auntie. He really should get back on his anti paranoia medications. And in my not dentist medical opinion he should have his meth teeth pulled and get dentures.What is delusional disorder?
- Persecutory: People with this type of delusional disorder believe someone or something is mistreating, spying on or attempting to harm them (or someone close to them). People with this type of delusional disorder may make repeated complaints to legal authorities. (Dutch)
What causes delusional disorder?
Evidence suggests that delusional disorder can be triggered by stress. Alcohol use disorder and substance use disorder might contribute to the condition.
(DU has openly admitted his alcohol and benzodiazepine addictions)
Social isolation, envy, distrust, suspicion and low self-esteem are also some psychological factors that may lead to a person seeking an explanation for these feelings and, thus, forming a delusion as a solution.
Management and Treatment
How is delusional disorder treated?
Treatment for delusional disorder most often includes psychotherapy (talk therapy) and medication, but delusional disorder is highly resistant to treatment with medication alone.
People with delusional disorder often don’t seek treatment for the condition on their own because most people with delusional disorder don’t realize their delusions are problematic or incorrect. It’s more likely they’ll seek help due to other mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety.
People with severe symptoms or who are at risk of hurting themselves or others might need to be admitted to the hospital until the condition is stabilized.
