Folie A Deux

BACKGROUND: Shared psychotic disorder was first introduced in the 19th century in France with the name Folie à deux. Since then, the concept of Folie à deux has been developed and produces several subtypes in France. In DSM, this disorder is called Shared Psychotic Disorder, and in ICD-10, it is called Induced Delusional Disorder. However, some of the classic subtypes of Folie à deux are not included in the above categories. CASE REPORT: We found a case of shared psychotic disorder between a 38-year-old male inducer, a Batak tribe with two female recipients, 34 and 36 years from the Batak tribe. They were found to share the same delusions and hallucinations, and inducers could make recipients into trance conditions. These three individuals did not get along with the surrounding community and often carried out activities and perform rituals together. CONCLUSION: Overall, our case has some unique features of folie à deux. In this case, there is a trance condition that can be induced that have not been reported in the literature or case reports related to Folie à deux.

Folie à deux is an uncommon psychiatric entity characterized by the transfer of delusional ideas and/or abnormal behavior from one person to another, or many others, who are in close contact with the primarily affected patient. In this paper we present a case of folie à deux, involving a married couple who suffered from a shared psychotic disorder with delusional interpretations of specific suras of the Koran. These mystical delusions were derived from the Anatolian legend of The Seven Sleepers. The case resulted in the death of the wife. This study illustrates the role of cultural and religious factors in folie à deux.

IntroductionThe induced delusional disorder or folie à deux, is a rare condition characterized by psychotic symptoms at least in two individuals in close association.ObjectivesWe report a case of shared psychotic disorder between mother and daughter. We briefly review both classical and current literature.MethodsWe summarized the results from articles identified via MEDLINE/PubMed using “induced delusional/shared psychotic disorder” as keywords. We report a case of a woman who develops psychotic symptoms characterized by delusions of persecution. Her daughter started, during the first high school grade with referring sexual threats and having delusions of persecution lived by her mother like a fact. They have very symbiotic relationship. Seven years later, the mother has required hospitalization for chronic delusions.ResultsThe term folie à deux was first coined by Lasègue and Falret, they assume the transmission of delusions was possible when an individual dominated the other and existed relative isolation. Recent studies found no significant differences in age and sex, although described higher comorbidity with other psychiatric diseases. Relative to treatment, separation by itself is insufficient; an effective neuroleptic treatment is required.ConclusionsOur case meets criteria for shared psychotic disorder. The daughter, with a ruling attitude who dominates the relationship, was the inducer. The mother showed no resistance in accepting delusions and remains them active after separation. This leads us to consider the possible predisposition to psychotic illness by both patients.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Folie A Deux

Introduction:Induced delusional disorder (also known as shared paranoid disorder or folie à deux) is an uncommon disturbance characterized by the presence of similar psychotic symptoms in two or more individuals. Most commonly a primary case can be distinguished from other one or more cases, in whom the symptoms are induced. the patients implied in the shared delusional symptoms are frequently linked by close relationship bonds, mostly family ties. Its epidemiology remains unclear, because very few data is available. There are some requirements concerning the persons involved for the development of this disorder:1.Close coexistence and intimate emotional links between the two people are observed;2.The delusional content is plausible and can be based on past events or expectations;3.Typically, the induced individual has an easily influenciable personality.Case report:We describe and comment one case of shared paranoid disorder between a 29 year old schizophrenic patient and her 43 years old sister. both share a persecution and prejudice delusion involving the Chinese community of their hometown. after a few days of inward treatment at separated psychiatric wards, the delusional symptoms in the older sister started to improve.Conclusion:Our intention is making a review on a diagnosis that remains controversial nowadays. Treatment should begin with the separation of the induced and the inducer. Anyhow, a psychopharmacological treatment is required in both individuals. It seems clear, however, that the prognosis of the induced and the inducer is different, according to a variety of factors.

Over Time

Folie a deux, to date, remains a rare, yet a challenging psychiatric diagnosis. We discuss two cases that were identified in our out-patient clinics. One case was lost to follow up, while the other one showed improvement over time with appropriate management. Conclusion: As with any rare disorder, recognition and correct referral for rare diagnosis like folie a deux is of paramount importance.
