Resumo: | Erotomania is a rare condition in which an individual has the delusional belief that other person is in love with him/her. Some authors suggest the distinction of a primary and secondary form, depending on etiology, with possible implications on the management of the disorder. On the latter, treatment should be focused on the underlying disease, while on the former, besides antipsychotic medication, attention should be paid to some specific characteristics of these patients. There is little data published on the subject, with most of the available information coming from case-reports or small collections of cases. Here, we describe and discuss two clinical cases of primary and secondary erotomania and make a short review about the subject. We believe that this paper brings more insights into the conceptualization and approach of erotomania and the relevance of the acknowledgement of its primary and secondary forms. |

Alguns autores sugerem a distinção de uma forma primária e secundária, dependendo da sua etiologia, com possíveis implicações no tratamento e abordagem desta patologia. No segundo, o tratamento deve ser focado na doença de base, enquanto no primeiro, além da medicação antipsicótica, deve ser prestada atenção a algumas características específicas desses doentes. Há poucos dados publicados sobre o tema, com a maioria das informações disponíveis provenientes de relatos de casos ou pequenas séries de casos. Neste trabalho, descrevemos e discutimos dois casos clínicos de erotomania primária e secundária e fazemos uma breve revisão sobre o tema. Acreditamos que este artigo contribui com informação relevante sobre a conceptualização e abordagem da erotomania e a importância do reconhecimento de suas formas primária e secundária.Departamento de Saúde Mental | Hospital Prof. Doutor Fernando Fonseca, EPE2022-09-07T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.25752/psi.18656eng2182-31461646-091XGomes Pereira, EduardoCoutinho, FranciscoReis, ConstançaGuerra, Cátiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-09T05:45:26Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/18656Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:48:39.482950Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
