What are the symptoms of Shared Psychotic Disorder?
Shared psychotic disorder has delusions similar to those of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.6 The main symptom of this psychiatric syndrome is the firm belief of the secondary case in the dominant partner's delusion. As compared to schizophrenic patients, delusions experienced by both primary partners in shared psychotic disorder are much less peculiar and are somewhat believable. Since these delusions are often within the realm of possibility, it is easier for the dominant partner to impose his/her idea upon the submissive, secondary partner. 7
