Скачать или смотреть Folie à deux (shared psychosis)

Folie à deux, also known as shared psychosis, is a rare psychiatric condition where two or more people share the same delusions. Typically, the primary individual (the "dominant" partner) develops a delusion and influences the second person, often someone close, such as a spouse, sibling, or friend, to adopt the same false beliefs. The condition usually occurs in pairs living in close proximity, often in isolated or stressful environments, which amplifies the influence.

The delusion can range from paranoia to more complex false perceptions about the world. The second individual generally has a more passive role and may not have developed the delusion independently. Treatment usually involves separating the individuals to break the influence, along with antipsychotic medications or therapy. Once separated, the secondary individual often experiences a quick recovery, while the primary may require more extensive psychiatric treatment.
