Erotomania
Erotomania is a psychological condition where an individual believes that another person, often of higher social status, is in love with them. This belief is typically unfounded and can lead to obsessive behaviors, such as stalking or excessive communication attempts. The person experiencing erotomania may misinterpret social cues or interactions as signs of affection.
This condition is classified as a type of delusional disorder and can occur in various contexts, including romantic relationships or celebrity worship. Treatment often involves therapy and, in some cases, medication to address underlying mental health issues.
