Background:

  • Pathological jealousy, a rare condition, can significantly impair an individual's life.
  • Monodelusional disorders encompass a range of conditions characterized by delusions without other significant psychotic symptoms.

Observation:

  • A case study involving a 39-year-old male patient presenting with pathological jealousy.

Findings:

  • Successful treatment of pathological jealousy was achieved using the medication pimozide.
  • The patient's symptoms resolved following pimozide administration, indicating a positive therapeutic response.

Implications:

  • Pimozide demonstrates potential as a first-line pharmacological intervention for pathological jealousy.
