Erotomania
Erotomania or Clerambault’s Syndrome refers to a psychological condition in which the person who is affected has delusions that the one he is affected to feels the same for him or her. This is also called love obsession. The obsession of love by the affected person towards his/her love gets intensified when the person expresses his/her dislike towards this affected person. The person they love don’t reciprocate the same feeling for them due to which they get aggressive and in order to be with the one they love, they tend to stalk the person/objects they love. Such delusions are seen in the patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorders.

What Causes Erotomania?
Erotomania is quite mysterious and there has been many of its kind. Psychologist can only draw hypotheses. The most weird theory that has took place is that it starts taking place in the childhood due to lack of love and affection. Those who are deprived of affection since their childhood often face this condition.For females, lack of affection from father is considered one of the main causes, while on the other hand it (Erotomania) is generally seen in men. So we can say that lack of love and affection from mother causes this condition in men and therefore they become aggressive.
CURE
Through pharmacological therapy we can try to fix this condition. If the person has been deprived of affection from the family, then more focus should be given to the person and parents must love their children and focus on it since their childhood. Some antipsychotic drugs can help to manage the symptoms of delusions. There is no concrete way to prevent or cure such delusional disorder, however, early diagnosis and analyzing the symptoms can help reducing the risk of disrupting or screwing one person’s life.
