clinical lycanthropy
Clinical lycanthropy is a rare psychiatric condition where an individual believes they can transform into a wolf or exhibit wolf-like behaviors. This disorder is often associated with severe mental health issues, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, and can lead to significant distress for the affected person.
People with clinical lycanthropy may experience delusions, hallucinations, or altered perceptions of reality. Treatment typically involves a combination of psychotherapy and medication to address the underlying mental health conditions and help the individual regain a more accurate understanding of their identity.
