Abstract
CRUZADO DIAZ, Lizardo; MORMONTOY MORALES, Adelguisa Elena and LOZANO VARGAS, Edward Antonio. Internet Delusions and Folie á Deux: Case Report. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2010, vol.39, n.4, pp.803-809. ISSN 0034-7450.
Introduction: The influence of socio-political events and technological innovations on the content of delusions has been confirmed. Due to the integration of Internet into everyday life, psychotic symptoms involving this technology as a theme are frequent. Method: We report the case of a young man who developed a delusional disorder and, additionally, led his brother into delusional disorder about themes related to the Internet. Conclusion: We present a review of the literature, and we propose that the advent of cyber technology alters the content but not the form of delusions.
Keywords : Delusion,; Internet; delusional disorder; folie á deux.
