Management and Treatment of delusional jealousy (Othello syndrome)

[ManjiB]

@Spider1 - Welcome to the community. This is a community like no other I have known and it often or almost always comes up with helpful information, suggestions and advice on any number of topics and so I guess you are in the right place

I have no idea about Othello syndrome but I see from a search on this forum, there have been two previous references to the term. You can see them in the below snapshot.

Having quickly scanned them, I feel that member @Matthew1798 may be able to offer some advice on this as he has commented on the subject in both posts.

I have tagged him and if he is still using this forum, he will hopefully respond.

This site brings me closer to my mother. She would want me to connect to others who suffered what she suffered.

If you have any questions, just ask me. I studied strokes for 2 years. I’m no expert, but I think I knew more than her doctors. Seriously. I lived it for 2 years. My mother didn’t have memory issues, or any issues with muscles/pain/tingling after a few months. She did have sporadic confusion at times, and became very irrational about everyday things, as time what by. She also had jealously delusions that my father would leave her and put her in a care home (Othello Syndrome). Her apathy was beyond belief, and her OCD over temperature (hot and cold) would sometimes last 2 hours or more. She also paced like crazy at night, and became a complete insomniac (maybe slept 1 hour a night or less), bickering with my father about nothing. Unreal.

I hope this is of some help.

Wishing you all the best.
